Converter Preflight Messages
The preflight engine which is incorporated in the Apogee StoreFront Converter plug-in for Adobe InDesign checks if a document uses functions that are not supported by the Online Editor. Below is a list of possible warnings and errors that it can report. There are two types of messages:
Warnings: These can be ignored if you are willing to accept that the layout in the Online Editor will be different from that of the original InDesign document. It is recommended however to cancel the export process, adapt the layout of the InDesign document and then export the file again to create a StoreFront Package.
Errors: These need to be solved first before you can create the StoreFront Package.

Use All Caps instead.
"Remove the small caps formatting. The text will result in uppercase and lowercase letters, depending on how you typed it. This fix preserve the original text digits and formatting.Simulate small caps with caps letters reduced by a percentage. The percentage used is defined in the InDesign preferences. This fix tries to preserve the appearance of the text, but will change some formatting parameters."
cell_fillTint
warning
Cell tint
A cell is filled with a color tint (less than 100%). Only 100% tint is supported for cells.
Set the tint to 100% or create a specific color for this cell.

warning
Custom kerning
"A custom kerning value is used between letters. Custom kerning is not supported in the online editor, and will be ignored during the conversion."
"Set the kerning to Metric, or try to achieve the same result using tracking."
"Remove any custom kerning value. The spacing between letters will be reset to the default value. This is the cleanest way, as any other formatting values will be untouched.Try to reproduce the same result using kerning instead of tracking. This will preserve the appearance of the text, but a lot of local tracking formatting will be applied, resulting in a less manageable text."
color_too_many
warning
Too many swatches
"There are %0% swatches. A large amount of swatches has negative impact on the performance of the online editor. Usually this is caused by a large color library loaded in the document, which aren't really used. Removing unused colors can make a difference for performance."
"In the Swatches panel menu, execute the 'Select All Unused' command, then delete those unused swatches."
Remove the unused swatches from the document.

"Use the same settings for every border of the cell. A well designed table for optimal StoreFront conversion should have only one kind of border. If you need more refined design, please consider to draw the table in background and create standard text frame on top."
"Set the same border to any side of the cell, using the formatting of the TOP border.Set the same border to any side of the cell, using the formatting of the RIGHT border.Set the same border to any side of the cell, using the formatting of the BOTTOM border.Set the same border to any side of the cell, using the formatting of the LEFT border."
