How to Fix Preflight Errors in Adobe InDesign

Use this interactive demo to learn how to resolve common preflight errors in Adobe InDesign.

‍

‍

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to fix preflight errors in Adobe InDesign:

‍

  1. To fix Preflight errors in Adobe InDesign, first open the Preflight panel to identify the problem. You can access it at the bottom of the workspace, next to the error/no-error indicator.
  2. You’ll find the problem in the Preflight panel. Click an error to see more details, and the workspace will navigate to where the issue is located.‍
  3. Fix the problem at the indicated location. Once resolved, the error will disappear from the Preflight panel, and the no-error indicator will appear.

📌 Why this matters

Preflight errors block your documents from printing or exporting properly, turning what should be a final step into a frustrating roadblock. Beyond just fixing immediate problems, mastering preflight troubleshooting reveals the health of your entire design workflow.

Files that consistently pass preflight checks indicate you're following professional standards that prevent costly reprints, missed deadlines, and client revisions. You'll also catch issues like missing fonts or low-resolution images before they reach production, saving both time and your reputation with print vendors.
