Methods and systems for preflighting using multiple preflight profiles
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- enabling a user to select two or more preflight profiles;
identifying a conflicted rule that is enabled by multiple preflight profiles of the two or more preflight profiles, the conflicted rule including a setting specific to each of the multiple preflight profiles, each setting including a range, the ranges not being identical;
determining an intersection of the ranges;
creating an amended rule based on the conflicted rule and the intersection of the ranges;
performing, using a processor of a machine, a preflight on a document, the preflight including the amended rule.

Abstract
A method includes using rules included in two or more preflight profiles to apply to a document. The preflight profiles may be selected to reduce possibilities of conflicts. The preflight profiles may be selected based on global settings or local settings. The preflight profiles may also be selected based on priority. When there are conflicts, conflict resolution techniques may be applied.

1. A method comprising:
-
enabling a user to select two or more preflight profiles; identifying a conflicted rule that is enabled by multiple preflight profiles of the two or more preflight profiles, the conflicted rule including a setting specific to each of the multiple preflight profiles, each setting including a range, the ranges not being identical; determining an intersection of the ranges; creating an amended rule based on the conflicted rule and the intersection of the ranges; performing, using a processor of a machine, a preflight on a document, the preflight including the amended rule. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory coupled to the processor; a preflight engine coupled to the processor; and a merging module coupled to the preflight engine and configured to; form a super profile using rules selected from two or more user-selected preflight profiles, identify a conflicted rule that is enabled by multiple preflight profiles of the two or more preflight profiles, the rule including a setting specific to each of the multiple preflight profiles, each setting including a range, the ranges not being identical; determine an intersection of the ranges; create an amended rule based on the conflicted rule and the intersection of the ranges; add the amended rule to the super profile; the preflight engine further configured to use rules of the super profile to preflight a document. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations including:
-
forming a combined set of rules using rules associated with a first preflight profile selected by a user and rules associated with a second preflight profile selected by the user; identifying a conflicted rule that is enabled by both the first preflight profile and the second preflight profile, the conflicted rule including a setting specific to each of the first and second preflight profiles, each setting including a range, the ranges not being identical; determining an intersection of the ranges; creating an amended rule based on the conflicted rule and the section of the ranges; forming a super profile based on non-conflicting rules in the combined set of rules and the amended rule; and performing preflight on a document using the super profile. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
