Where Is Preflight in Illustrator?

Click on your preferred checkboxes in FlightCheck's Preferences and Ground Controls. (These give FlightCheck details on items to check.) Drag and drop your Illustrator CC 2018 file onto the FlightCheck icon to begin the preflighting process.

Is there a preflight panel in Illustrator?

Unlike InDesign, there is no Preflight Panel in Illustrator. So, you've got to manually check the file and fix any problems before packaging. The Package tool collects copies of everything into one folder: the Illustrator file, linked graphics, fonts, and a report summary.

How do you preflight?

Open the Preflight panel
  1. Choose Window > Output > Preflight.
  2. Double-click the Preflight icon at the bottom of a document window. The Preflight icon is green if no errors are detected or red if errors are detected.
