Preflight panel too persistent; want it gone

Not sure why the panel is always there when I start InDesign. I've hidden the panel with no document open, I've resaved my workspace, and still it persists.
Anyone else?

Corruption is not on a timeline, Aaron. Trash your prefs, and/or try a new admin user acct.

Preflight Panel Error

I've recently started using the preflight panel in ID CS4 when I produce my company's 4/c process covers.
I have set up a custom preflight profile so that under:
- IMAGES and OBJECTS > Image Resolution > color, grayscale and 1-bit images are checked off and set at minimum resolution of 300dpi.
- COLOR > Color Spaces and Modes Not Allowed: RGB, Spot Color, and Lab are checked off.
> Spot Color Setup > Predefined Spot Colors Must: Use CMYK Equivalents
However, when I place some EPS files, I'm getting preflight panel errors indicating that the EPS file has an effective resolution less than that of 300dpi I set in my custom profile, and that the "content" uses spot color.
I opened up the EPS files in AI CS4 and the doc info says no spot colors. And when I package the ID files with the EPS graphics, the summary says that no spot colors were found. Also, these are postscript files...why would I get a resolution error? Besides, the EPS files are at 100%.
Why the spot color error? Help!

Run the EPS files thru Illustrator and sava as to proper current .ai files and replace and see if the problem persists.

Preflight panel Info. shows my placed 300 ppi PDFs at much less effective resolution

Ï'm brand new to InDesign (graphic designer who primarily works in Illustrator, some Photoshop, until now). I understand resolution and PPI but not necessarily in-depth knowledge of the related necessary workflow needed within InDesign, if that makes sense. I've spent hours and hours the last couple days trying to learn the finer points of InDesign as I work on an ad magazine for my company, but I can't for the life of me figure this particular issue out, and I'm guessing (hoping!) it's a very simple solution.
I placed several 300 PPI PDF images in the magazine document (vector PDF's I created in Illustrator, saved as editable PDF's).
I created a Preflight Panel in InDesign with a custom Profile, named it Print Ready, and set image resolution to 250 to ensure as I finish up this magazine design that things are press/print ready. It now shows 5 images with Image resolutions lower than the 250 minimum - all of the pdfs I placed. They all show very low PPI, 74, 109, etc. The 300 PPI pdfs were already sized to the exact proportions they needed to be in the InDesign file and for print, so there was very minimal scaling to fit the images into their frames, so I'm assuming scaling couldn't have created this issue and it has something to do with my workflow and the way I'm bringing them in.
I'd like to point out that this magazine document was created by another designer, and I'm picking up where they've left off, adding some final images and copy. The other picture images she had in the file appear fine, no errors in Preflight Panel...even some preview stock photo's with the X's across them that appear to be very low resolution (we haven't purchased them and replaced them yet in this InDesign file), so not sure I understand why those are not showing up in my Image Resolution as errors??
Anyhow, at some point I came across the Document Presets, which is currently set to Default - and when I click Define, I noticed it shows the PPI at 72. Does this mean that files I place are "brought in" at 72 PPI, regardless if their original PPI is higher? And if so, how do I change that?
If not, how do resolve or correct?
Sorry for the very long explanation - just want to give as many details as I can, since I'm not exactly sure which details are important to figuring out the problem. Thanks in advance!!

I've checked the resolution in Photoshop just as a double-check and it shows resolution as 300 PPI. When you say "because they can be mixed" do you mean because elements and graphics with the PDF can be of varying resolutions? I hadn't thought of that, if that's what you meant. I do have some items within my pdf that might be lower resolution.
If these show up in my Preflight Panel as an issue, does this mean they would be flagged also with the Printer? In trying to find a resolution I read several forum discussions about how Printers often run your document through a Preflight process and will send it back when there are low resolution images in the document.
Is there some other way to be sure these images are in the InDesign document as 300 PPI so I can know they will in fact print correctly?
PS - Peter - thanks for the super quick response! And I saw your the highlighted "Exceptional Contributor" on the right sidebar for the InDesign forum - clearly well-deserved! Congrats

Duplicate script label warning into preflight panel - possible?

Hello!
Duplicate script labels are creating problems for us.They occur when our graphic designers copy a picture box and forget to change the script label, resulting in two identical images - if the indesign document is closed - and reopened.
Is there any way to either provide a warning for duplicate script labels, and/or a insert duplicate script label-warning in the preflight panel?

Hi Hans,
Thanks for that suggestion.Simple and affective.
Cheers!

Preflight Panel. Could this be DONE?

Hello.
I'm fairly new with creating custom panel for Photoshop CS4/CS5 and I'm just wondering if creating a mini Preflight panel that reports details about an active document is possible. Similar to the screenshot below.
Thanks.

With Configurator you can do it but configuring a "script button" ( through your own script)
but it will display data only when you click the button
If you want a panel as shown in the image you should use SDK and FlashBuilder:

Preflight panel - maximal total ink option?

Hello!
I wanted to ask is there somewherein CS5 preflight panel hidden option for checking maximal total ink coverage for images? I didn't find it.
In CS3 there was such option. It sometimes worked strange but it was posible. And there was much more option for checking.
Or i just miss something and it all is there and i just don't see it?
Thanks.

I was found it. Don't remember right now where but there was such thing. Not so obvious but it was posible to add option for checking and find in object list total ink for image. I think same was for stroke and fill color max ink. But that was in CS3. I can find it later (some days) if needed.
Separation panel is excelent thing but since it depends on human eyes it's not so "cool" better for workflow would be to make Indesign do that work.
P.S. Oh my...i feel so ashamed. That was acrobat preflight. Sorry sorry sorry.

Preflight panel not displaying / broken

The Preflight panel will not display. Invoking it from the main menu (Window > Output > Preflight), or the bottom of the document window or via the keyboard shortcut - none of them work - the preflight panel appears for the briefest moment and then disappears. No other part of the interface appears to be broken or behave the same way.
System
Mac OS 10.6.8, InDesign CC version 9 and Indesign CC version 9.1
Previous versions:
Exact same behaviour in CS6 (8.0.1)
Works fine in CS5.5 (v7.5.3)
Steps taken to troubleshoot:
Replicated the problem in a Mac OS X guest account.
Replicated the problem after resetting the preferences (as described in Troubleshooting 101 post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990?start=160&tstart=0 )
Tried disabling preflight (via bottom-of-document preflight menu). Tried creating new profiles.
Deleted / reinstalled the preflight profiles?
Not sure how I might do this, but it has occured to me this might be worth pursuing.
Using non-standard preflight profiles ?
No, using the supplied preflight profile.
Any troubleshooting advice appreciated...

The behavior you describe is not normal, and not reported by other users, making it highly unlikely to be a bug, and very likely to be some sort of configuration issue on your system, some other program running in the background or a third party plugin causing a conflict, for example.
All of a sudden I have this right now. Preflight and conditional text panels empty. Preferences already trashed - no change. Seems to me like a damaged source file.
While thinking about how to make both panels work as usual again, I wanted to repair the CS6 installation. Well, Adobe's installer does not offer a repair option...
Update: creating a new user on Windows made the panel appear normal again. So it seems the registration of Indesign's plugins is corrupt. Well, then let's reinstall it...

HT204411 iTunes store - I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ?

Hello, I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ? Unless I am mistaken, iTunes Switzerland is far from Swiss and does not encourage its people to watch films in the local languages of its country (at least French and Italian would be good too...). Can anyone help ? Do I have to move to Geneva to watch a non French film in French or Lugano to watch a non Italian film in Italian or simply buy a DVD to get round it?

I have the same problem. I want to watch any movies in French (in the original, or subtitled and/or dubbed). But I cannot seem to find any on iTunes. Does iTunes offer any content in other countries (I live overseas) in the languages of those countries?

Preflight Panel Problem!

Indesign CS5
In the lower status bar preflight reports 3 errors and there is a red dot. When I click on the tab to bring up the preflight panel, the panel is blank and doesn't specify the errors. I tried loading other preflight profiles but the panel remains blank.
Haven't had any luck finding an answer to this problem.
Any one else experienced something similar? Solutions?
Thanks!
