----------------------------------------------
Hi Eric,
Glad you found my blog post useful. One thought on your suggestion to provide a
way to ignore some errors: I'm not completely sure if this is something that
necessarily needs to be implemented *within* Preflight. Using the XML output
option it's relatively easy to filter out specific errors as a post-processing
step. For instance, see this work here:
https://github.com/openplanets/pdfeh/
which uses an XSLT transformation for this; alternatively with Schematron rules
this is pretty straightforward as well. My experience so far is that the most
challenging part is to decide *what* (combinations of) Preflight error codes /
details correspond to specific issues one's interested in (e.g. non-embedded
fonts). And making the error details more descriptive/user-friendly would
definitely help with that.
