FlightCheck File Menu

Open – This will open a file for and begin preflighting it. You can also do a Command – O .

Open Recent – This will bring up a list of recently preflighted files. The number of items in this list is controlled under the General Preferences area. Usually somewhere between 3 and 10 files is the standard number of recent files people are comfortable seeing.

FlightCheck File Menu

Add File – This item is only available if you have a file open in Markzware FlightCheck. Selecting Add File brings up a standard Open File dialog where you can select additional files to open in FlightCheck without closing the currently open file. **Important Note/Limitation – If you have a Non-PDF file open and you use the Add File feature to select a PDF to preflight, you will not get the results you are expecting. FlightCheck can only have one Preflight Mode active at a time, either Non-PDF or PDF. Whichever is open first when an Add File operation is performed is the one that is used for ALL files added until you either quit FlightCheck or perform another Open command. This can be a real gotcha, so rule of thumb is do not mix PDF and Non-PDF files in the same session. First preflight one file type, finish up and then perform an Open on the other file type. The Open operation will close out the previous file.

Load Preflight Mode – This allows you to manually select and load a Preflight Mode file. Instead of using this you should use Preflight Mode and make a selection from the fly-out menu.

Preflight Mode – This will bring up a fly-out menu where you can select a different Preflight Mode. The main use for this is to manually switch languages. All different languages that FlightCheck finds on startup are listed. If you need to manually switch Preflight Modes, disable the “Auto Preflight Detection” Preference located under Advanced Preferences, otherwise FlightCheck will always switch back to the default language you selected during the installation of FlightCheck.

Close – Closes the Results Window or Ground Controls Window if they are the front most window. If the Overview Window is the front most window, then the current job is closed and you must re-open the job to see new Results and Overview Windows.

Save – Not available and is grayed out.

Save As – If the Results Window is the frontmost window, this will save a FlightCheck Results report in text format. If the Overview Window is the front most window this will save a text based version of the Overview Window report. This does not work for the Ground Controls window.

Revert – Not available and is grayed out.

Page Setup – Brings up a standard system Page Setup Options window where you can configure your printed page format. It is important to setup your page orientation as this affects the Print Preferences area. **Important Note – FlightCheck does not automatically switch the Page Orientation for you when you select Portrait or Landscape under the Print Preferences area, you must perform that task manually in this area.

Print Ground Controls…– This will appear in the menu  if the Ground Controls window is the frontmost window and bring up a standard Page Setup window where you can configure your page setup. The format of the Ground Controls printout is text based and not graphical like FlightCheck’s UI.
