Preflight Book from the Book panel menu causes all documents (or
all selected documents) to be examined for errors. You can use the
profile embedded in each document, or you can specify a profile
to use. A green, red, or question mark icon indicates the preflight
status of each document. Green indicates the document has no reported
errors. Red indicates errors. A question mark indicates an unknown
status. For example, the document may be closed, preflighting may
be turned off, or the preflight profile was changed.</p>
