Abstract
A preflight system has a printer profile database containing a list of problem document elements and a list of universal resource locator addresses. Each of the universal resource locator addresses is associated with at least one of the problem document elements. The preflight system also has an analyzer that compares document elements from a print file submitted by a print buyer with the problem document elements, in order to identify those document elements occurring in the print file that may cause a problem during printing. The analyzer then compiles a list of the universal resource locator addresses associated with problem document elements found in the print file.
