<div>Ah – it’s something built into Scribus, didn’t realize that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here’s some info:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>>Object colorspace is not CMYK or spot</div>
<div>></div>
<div>PDF supports 11 different ways to represent the color of any object including RGB, CMYK and Spot (aka Separation) colors. Some of the PDF standards, such as PDF/X-1a, require the only CMYK and Spot colors be used. So if you use one of the others – you
fail.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>>Image dimension is smaller than its frame </div>
<div>></div>
<div>Pretty simple – the image is larger than the area/frame you gave it so it will be clipped/cropped.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>>Annontation uses a non TrueType font</div>
<div>></div>
<div>No clue why this one is here since there isn’t any standard/spec that I am aware of that cares what font type. I would get rid of it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>>Imported Documents contains non embedded fonts</div>
<div>></div>
<div>Seems pretty straight forward – you imported a PDF that didn’t have embedded fonts. Since the PDF standards require embedding, importing one that doesn’t means you’ll fail the output.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>>Object is a placed PDF</div>
<div>></div>
<div>Placed PDF sounds like the same thing as an Imported PDF. Probably just need to coordinate the language</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>>Object is not a page</div>
<div>></div>
<div>I know what it says, but not what it is supposed to represent in preflight.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>>Object is a PDF annotation or Field</div>
<div>></div>
<div>Same thing – I don’t get what this has to do with preflight.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>>Layers </div>
<div>></div>
<div>A PDF can contain layers (called OCG’s in the PDF standard) and some older specs don’t allow them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span>>Blendmode used</div>
</div>
<div>></div>
<div>When doing transparency, you can specify one of the 14 different blend modes. Again, some specs don’t allow transparency so this would probably et flagged.</div>

I'm spearheading an effort to demystify this functionality within Scribus. You can trigger the preflight verifier through the dropdown menu 'Window' -> 'Preflight Verifier'</div>
