RenWaller Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Hello, I have a multipage document with lots of text boxes. When I go to export, I get several errors such as "your table of contents is out of date," warnings of missing images, and a warning about text frame overflows. What I am wondering is, is there a preflight option that allows you to see what pages these errors are on? Thank you! thomaso and woefi 2 Quote

Thomahawk Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 I was wondering that too. Interestingly, when I export I first get a "warning from the checklist ... textframe text overflow" (well, the German version of that) - thats why I went looking for that checklist... Quote
cpoh Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 I second that. If not a correct preflight checklist then at least a hint on what pages what error occured. Text overflow on one page (out of 68) is kind of not nice if you don't know on which page to look for it :-) Quote

Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 13, 2019 Staff Posted December 13, 2019 Wait no longer to see our first beta to include this feature. 43 minutes ago, AdamW said: Preflight We have introduced a preflight check feature which can be used to ensure that your document exports or prints as intended. The preflight check runs as a background process, and can be run on on demand, prior to output, or 'live' on a continual basis. We currently have a number of separate tests with more planned for inclusion in the final 1.8 and in the future. Preflight is configured via the 'Preflight' panel, which supports profiles to specify which tests should be run if you desire. An indicator is provided on the status bar for immediate feedback on the process. Note we have requested updated icons as we are aware that colour alone is not a good way to represent the different statuses. Please feel free to suggest additional tests - it's likely that many will already be under consideration but please don't let that deter you.
