Join David Blatner for an in-depth discussion in this video Custom preflight profile recommendations, part of InDesign: Preflight and Printing.
- In the upper right corner of the preflight panel…you'll see that you have two profiles…to choose from, basic and digital publishing.…But honestly there's no reason to use…either of these, because neither…of them look for very much.…They're just not that useful.…Besides, Adobe doesn't know what you…want to look for, only you do.…So you have to make your own custom profile.…To make a custom profile, all you need to do…is go to the preflight panel menu,…and choose define profiles.…Then in the lower left corner,…click this little plus icon, that duplicates…whatever profile was selected in the list up here.…
Now let's give it a name, I'll call mine…David's Preflight Profile and in the general section,…which I can see just by clicking that little triangle,…I'm going to give it my own description.…My Favorite Settings, there we go.…From here on out, I'm going to show you…what I would choose in a custom profile,…but I want to stress that there is no…right or wrong answer here.…You need to set this up for how you work,…
