Quick Tip
Viewing Preflight summaries for PDF files in CorelDRAW® 10
Before printing your work in CorelDRAW 10, you can use Preflight to find potential problems. Preflight checks and displays a summary of errors, possible problems, and suggestions for resolving issues. By default, Preflight checks for many PDF issues, but you can disable the issues that you do not want Preflight to check.
To view the Preflight summary for a PDF file:
- Click File, Publish to PDF.
- Click Settings.
- Click the Issues tab.
If there are issues that you don't want Preflight to check, click the Settings button, double-click Publishing to PDF, and disable the check boxes that correspond to the issues that you want Preflight to overlook.
You can save Preflight settings by clicking the plus sign (+) and typing a name in the Save as box.
