Page Rules let one profile apply different checks to different pages. Unlike the other sections, it has no fixed list of checks. Instead it holds an ordered list of entries, each targeting a page range and overriding chosen checks for those pages. This is what you reach for when a single document mixes requirements — a book whose cover needs heavier bleed than its interior, or a multi-page job where only page 1 must be CMYK.

​
How an entry works

Each entry has two parts:

Page range

Which pages the entry applies to. Examples: 1 (first page), 2-10 (a span), 1,3,5 (specific pages), 2-n (page 2 to the end).

Overrides

The checks to change for those pages — each picked from any section (Page Checks, Colors, Fonts, Images, Structure) with a new target and/or action.
An override only changes the checks you name; every other check keeps the profile’s base setting for those pages. Pages not matched by any entry use the base profile throughout.

​
Configure page rules

1

Open the Page Rules section

In the profile editor, open Page Rules and add an entry.
2

Set the page range

Enter the pages this entry targets — for example 1 for a cover.
3

Add overrides

Choose the checks to change for those pages and set their new target or action. For instance, raise Bleed Lines to 5 mm on the cover while the interior stays at 3 mm.
4

Order entries

Entries apply in order; arrange them so the most specific ranges resolve the way you intend.
5

Save

Save the profile. The overrides apply only to their matched pages.
Page Rules override checks defined in the other sections — start by configuring the base profile, then add page-specific exceptions here.
