    i dont remember well but with the preflight show you all the images so you can clic in one of the preflight list of images and says the dpi of that images and then show you the image in the document

    The preflight just lists images. How do I know which image it is refering to in the document?

    Go to Advanced>Preflight>Options>Edit Preflight profile.

    Go to the little square with the plus sign on the bottom of the dialog box and click it to create a new profile.

    Above that little square you will see "New Profile 1" where you can choose a bunch of parameters. Go to Images. Choose "Resolution of color and gray scale images is...higher than zero". Do same for bit map images.

    Give your profile a name and you are done.

    I didnt find any proporties to give the dpi/ppi in the preflight all i saw is images below of 150 dpi, but if i have an image of 300 dpi, and the property is below of 150 or 200 or 300 600 or 1000 my image enter in all that categories or i was wrong, i exectued the report of 150 or 200 and told me its correct and pass the test, thanks for your time

    Create a Profile where you search for all images with more than zero resolution. The profile results will return all image resolutions.

    What I'd also like is a profile that tells you the name of the embedded image. Acrobat should be able to do this because years ago, PitStop, would do this very nicely. But I'm not going to shell out the big bucks for PitStop for this one feature.

    It won't let you know how many "dpi" (Technically it's "ppi" until you print it) but in pre-flight, you can check to see all images meet a certain minimum requirement (like 300ppi).

    Will that work?
