Agenda

•  Sta0c  versus  dynamic  checks  •  Variable  checks,  fixups…  and  profiles  •  Variables  in  pdfToolbox  Desktop  •  Variables  in  pdfToolbox  Server  •  Variables  in  FileTrain  

Static versus Dynamic

•  Sta0c  checks  contain  fixed  proper0es  •  Dynamic  checks  have  variables  inserted  

Variables?

•  Each  variable  in  pdfToolbox  is  iden0fied  by:  – A  descrip0on  – A  default  value  – A  symbolic  name  

Making a Variable Check

Much more than checks

•  Proper0es  of  checks  and  fixups  •  Proper0es  of  a  profile  •  Enabling  or  disabling  checks  or  fixups  

Making a Variable Check

pdfToolbox Desktop

•  Using  a  profile  (or  check  or  fix)  with  a  variable  brings  up  a  dialog  window
