Problems Layout

FlightCheck offers a powerful feature called the “Problems Layout” whereby you can view the layout of the document’s pages in order to discover the locations of offending objects. Select “Show Problems Layout...” from the Views menu, or type command+L.

The list of problem colors, fonts and images for the selected page will appear on the left side of the window. At the bottom left you can either enter a specific page number to view, or you can click the “page” icons to thumb through the document.

Show Items
In the center of the window will be a miniature display of the offending objects on the chosen page and this will depend on which Show Items have been selected at the bottom of the window. Select the desired checkboxes to view specific problem objects.

Items List
The Items list on the right side of the window will display a list of the problem boxes. Clicking an item will highlight the respective object within the page preview. Double-clicking an item will bring up the Box Info window.

Box Info
Note that you can also click an image name on the Images list over on the left side of the window to highlight its object, or you can simply double-click the image name to display the box info.

Print Layout
Click the Print button to print out the diagram and/or a listing of the page’s problems. This printout can then be used as a reference when you return the document to its application to correct the problems.

Go to Problem
When an object has been selected on the Items list, click the “Go To Problem” button to launch the document’s application in order to be taken directly to the problem page and box.

The problem box will be conveniently selected on the document page allowing you to quickly edit or correct the problem.
