Intent Ground Controls
Intent NOT Print
Flags the document if the intent type is not print. This may be useful if someone selects an intent type such as device or web and sets up a document that will not match the paper sizes supported by press. While this is something that is do-able, it will require extra work on the part of the Printer to get the job to the final anticipated dimensions.
Intent NOT Mobile
Flags the document if the intent type is not mobile. This Ground Control may be useful for people creating documents that are intended to be used on mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets. This is especially useful if someone is designing a User Interface or application mockup in InDesign or QuarkXPress intended to be used on a mobile device.
Intent NOT Web
Flags the document if the intent type is not web. This Ground Control may be useful for people creating documents that are intended to be viewed using a web browser.
Intent Unknown
Will flag the document if the output intent is unknown. In some workflows an output intent is required for automation and having an unknown output intent will trigger an error in the workflow, thus resulting in the job being rejected or moved to a holding area (folder) for problematic jobs.
General Ground Controls
Orientation NOT Portrait
Will flag the document if the page orientation is not set to Portrait mode. Typically a page in portrait mode is taller than it is wide.
Orientation NOT Landscape
Will flag the document if the page orientation is not set to Landscape mode. Typically a page in landscape mode is wider than it is tall.
