Live Preflight
Traditionally,
designers would manually check their layouts for errors to prevent potential
printing problems from occurring, however, this process has changed with the
introduction of Live Preflight to InDesign. Preflighting enables you to monitor
the document as you create it, for example, displaying errors that can prevent
a document from printing or outputting as desired. This allows for problems to
be fixed throughout the design process rather than during the process of
packaging the document.
The
preflight feature allows you to configure its settings to create a preflight
profile which defines which conditions are detected. If a problem is detected,
a red circle icon appears in the status bar. When clicked, the preflight panel
opens, explains the issue and presents assistance to fix the problem. It ensures
that a document contains all its fonts and graphic files, the correct colour space,
if there is any overset text and many other conditions. Nonetheless, there are
still some details that the designer needs to check manually such as the bleed of
the document and the resolution of images used.
