It is safe to ignore this when using modern printing methods, or exporting to PDF version greater than 1.4. | not yet | |
| Image is GIF | This warning alerts you that you are using a bitmap based graphic format (.gif is one of those) which will most likely result in poor viewing quality (for example: when commercially printed, viewed on a high-resolution screens, etc...). If your PDF will be printed commercially, there are some printing systems that will have difficulty printing these types of images. | not yet | |
| Missing Image | The assigned image file cannot be found. | not yet | |

For the Preflight-Checker Preferences
So it may also be a good idea to have more verbose text in a pop-up next to each Preflight Check Preference menu item. A good example that could be utilized for pop up text would be here: http://fossies.org/linux/misc/scribus-1.4.3.tar.gz/scribus-1.4.3/scribus-1.4.3/scribus/doc/en/print2.html
