Preflight profile and Pitstop server
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2025 10:36 am
Hi Everyone,
I just started learning how to use Switch a few weeks ago, so I’m still getting familiar with the basics of the Switch flow. I’m now trying to use the PitStop Server tool to pre-check my PDFs (we’re a book printing company), but I’m not sure how to get started with it.
It looks like I need to apply a Preflight profile, and I see a few options in my library (like CMYKv3 and CmykVeryHiRes_1v3). I’m not sure which one would be the right choice, or what the settings inside each profile actually mean. Also, do I still need to add a variable set after choosing a Preflight profile?
Thanks so much for any guidance!
