Automated Preflight Checks fix or no fix

[DJS]

Hello, sadly i missed the Infigo webinar - Technical Workshop | Automated Preflight Checks with Enfocus PitStop, but have just watched it.

Can you please expand on the final question, raised by my colleague, We would like to have a PPP which uses several variables (page size, add bleed, convert to PDF) but with 2 (or 3) new variables, "adding pages" and "resizing" and an option to "not fix". Writing the actions etc is not an issue, I am struggling with the variable set. Are you able to assist?

Hi,

The solutions I have mentioned may not be the most practical but they may serve the purpose. Note that you can disable any fix at the Preflight Profile level:

However, this is not "variable aware". So you could conceptually have two profiles (copies), one that checks but not fixes, the other that chjecks and fixes. You would need to check with Infigo how to handle the duality, but that could be an option.

Another one is to use variable over individual fixes:

So you could have a "doFixes" set as a boolean and use over all possible fixes. Not ideal but it's a possibility.

Finally you could basically push all your fixes in one Action List used as Extra and also conditionned by a variable:


I don't think those options are particularly good, just possibilities. I would also make that feature request to Infigo that they can handle yoru scenario. Because the Preflight Profile expose this single one checkbox for allowing/disallowing fixes as shown above.
