# Page Checks

> Geometry checks in a PDF preflight profile — page count, size, orientation, bleed, trim, safety margins, rotation, and layout.

Page Checks (the **Geometry** section) cover the physical shape of the document — the most common reasons a print job is rejected. Each check lists its **action**, **settings**, and the messages the customer sees. See the [profile overview](/configuration/preflight) for how actions work.

## Page Count

How many pages the file must contain.

| Field        | Detail                                                                                                                         |
| :----------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action**   | Reject                                                                                                                         |
| **Settings** | Min, Max, or an exact list of allowed counts (e.g. `2, 4, 6`)                                                                  |
| **Issue**    | Your file has the wrong number of pages. It has `{actual.pageCount}`, but this product requires `{target.min}`–`{target.max}`. |
| **Fix**      | Adjust your document so it has the required number of pages, then re-export and upload again.                                  |

## Page Size

The allowed page dimensions.

| Field        | Detail                                                                                                                                             |
| :----------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action**   | Reject                                                                                                                                             |
| **Settings** | Allowed sizes (list of width × height in mm), Tolerance (mm)                                                                                       |
| **Issue**    | Your page size doesn't match what this product needs. Your file is `{width}` × `{height}` mm, but we need `{target.width}` × `{target.height}` mm. |
| **Fix**      | Resize your document to the correct dimensions and re-upload.                                                                                      |

## Orientation

Whether pages must be portrait, landscape, or square.

| Field        | Detail                                                                                                            |
| :----------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action**   | Off                                                                                                               |
| **Settings** | Allowed orientation (Portrait, Landscape, Square)                                                                 |
| **Issue**    | Your page orientation doesn't match what's expected for this product. We expected `{target.allowed}` orientation. |
| **Fix**      | Rotate your document to the correct orientation and re-export.                                                    |

## Bleed Lines

The extra artwork beyond the cut line that stops white edges appearing after trimming.

| Field        | Detail                                                                                                 |
| :----------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action**   | Auto-fix                                                                                               |
| **Settings** | Required (mm), Tolerance (mm), Fill (None / Mirror / Scale), Sides (All / Top / Right / Bottom / Left) |
| **Issue**    | Your file is missing or has incorrect bleed. We need `{target.required_mm}` mm on every side.          |
| **Fix**      | Add at least `{target.required_mm}` mm of bleed on every side and re-export.                           |
| **Auto-fix** | We'll add the missing bleed automatically before printing.                                             |

## Trimbox

A defined trim area (TrimBox) marking the finished cut boundary.

| Field        | Detail                                                                                              |
| :----------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action**   | Auto-fix                                                                                            |
| **Settings** | Required (mm), Tolerance (mm), Sides                                                                |
| **Issue**    | Your file is missing or has an incorrect trim box. We need `{target.required_mm}` mm on every side. |
| **Fix**      | Add a correct trim box to your document and re-export.                                              |
| **Auto-fix** | We'll add the missing trim box automatically before printing.                                       |

## Safety Margin

The minimum distance important content must stay from the trim edge.

| Field        | Detail                                                                                                                                             |
| :----------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action**   | Warn                                                                                                                                               |
| **Settings** | Minimum (mm)                                                                                                                                       |
| **Issue**    | Some of your text or important content sits too close to the edge and may be trimmed off. Keep it at least `{target.min_mm}` mm from the cut line. |
| **Fix**      | Move important content away from the edges and re-upload.                                                                                          |

## Page Rotation

Which page-rotation angles are acceptable.

| Field        | Detail                                                            |
| :----------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action**   | Auto-fix                                                          |
| **Settings** | Allowed angles (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°)                              |
| **Issue**    | One or more pages are rotated unexpectedly.                       |
| **Fix**      | Straighten the rotated pages and re-export your file.             |
| **Auto-fix** | We'll straighten the rotated pages automatically before printing. |

## Consistent Page Sizes

All pages in the file must share the same dimensions.

| Field        | Detail                                                                                       |
| :----------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action**   | Reject                                                                                       |
| **Settings** | None                                                                                         |
| **Issue**    | Not all pages in your file are the same size. Every page needs to share the same dimensions. |
| **Fix**      | Make all pages the same size and re-export your file.                                        |

## Page Layout

Whether pages should be single, spreads, or either.

| Field        | Detail                                                                                  |
| :----------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Action**   | Warn (can auto-fix)                                                                     |
| **Settings** | Mode (Single pages / Spreads / Either)                                                  |
| **Issue**    | Your pages are laid out as `{actual.layout}`, but this product expects `{target.mode}`. |
| **Fix**      | Re-arrange your pages as `{target.mode}` and re-export.                                 |
| **Auto-fix** | We'll re-arrange the layout automatically before printing.                              |
