Viewing preflight summaries for PDF files
Before saving a document as a PDF file, you can preflight your document to find potential problems. Preflighting checks and displays a
summary of errors, possible problems, and suggestions for resolving issues. By default, many PDF issues are checked during a preflight, but
you can disable the issues that you do not want to check.

Preparing PDF files for a print provider
Open Prepress Interface (OPI) lets you use low-resolution images as placeholders for the high-resolution images that appear in your final
work. When a print provider receives your file, the OPI server substitutes the low-resolution images with the high-resolution images.
Printers’ marks provide information to the print provider about how the work should be printed. You can specify which printers’ marks to
include on the page. The available printers’ marks are as follows:
• Crop marks — represent the size of the paper and appear at the corners of the page. You can add crop marks to use as guides in
trimming the paper. If your output has multiple pages per sheet (for example, two rows by two columns), you can add the crop marks
on the outside edge of the page so that all crop marks are removed after the cropping process, or you can choose to add crop marks
around each row and column. A bleed determines how far an image can extend beyond the crop marks. A bleed requires that the paper
you are printing on is larger than the size of paper you ultimately want, and the image area must extend beyond the edge of the final
paper size.
• Registration marks — are required to line up the film, analog proofs, or print plates on a color press. Registration marks print on each
sheet of a color separation.
• Densitometer scale — is a series of gray boxes ranging from light to dark. These boxes are required to test the density of halftone
images. You can position the densitometer scale anywhere on the page. You can also customize the levels of gray that appear in each of
the seven squares on the densitometer scale.
• File information — can be printed, including the color profile; name, date, and time the image was created; and page number.
