Panel: CHILI Live Preflight 4

Adobe InDesign plugin that will show possible issues on conversion

When you have no issues, or an empty document, you will see no messages.

Open

Checkbox: “Real time preflight” will trigger real time search for issues, and keeps the panel up to date.

If unchecked: Click the “Preflight document” button.

When you have elements that will not convert well to CHILI publisher, a message will appear in the panel.

Open

Clicking on the line, will show details below

The message contains:

• Type: Warning or error to check

• Issue: A short description of the issue, click for details below the list

• Page: Where the issue is located in the document

• Actions

  • An arrow to bring you to the issue / frame.

  • A wrench to suggest a possible fix

Depending on the possible fix, the plugin will fix it for you.

E.g. Below we selected an unsupported frame border stroke type.
The solution suggested will convert the stroke to a solid stroke.

PS If you wish to keep the specific layout, you can bring these elements to a locked layer, and convert them as a placed PDF asset. This will retain the look and feel, but you’ll loose the edit-ability online.
