Acrobat comes with approximately 50 predefined preflight profiles. Any of these can be used as-is or modified. You can also create a new profile with your own custom settings. New profiles appear in the list along with the preset profiles.

The Preflight: Edit Profile dialog box appears. TIP If you would prefer to not alter any of the preset profiles, you can create your own custom profile. To create a new profile, click the Create a New Preflight Profile button (the first button under the list of profiles), rename the profile, select a category under the new profile, and set any desired rules. Be sure to click the Save button periodically as you are specifying rules.
