InPreflight is an all-in-one preflight, packaging and reporting solution. NOTE: InPreflight Pro vs InPreflight Studio: Advanced Packaging isn't available in InPreflight Studio. All other functionality is identical. InPreflight is a comprehensive quality control solution which saves hours of checking InDesign documents manually and dealing with consequences of costly mistakes. It quickly checks document fonts, colors and links and lets you instantly locate potential problems according to user-defined preflight presets. With InPreflight's carefully structured interface you can make decisions quickly and easily. InPreflight Pro is also a powerful packaging automation solution which allows users to preflight and package multiple documents. Among other abilities, it can collect all files into one folder, eliminating the need to collect the same links multiple times for each design. The savings result in gigabytes of space and hours of production time. (InPreflight Pro only)
InPreflight lets users print graphic preflight reports and save them as fully searchable interactive PDF files, providing an easy way to analyze, archive and send reports to service providers. Supplying InPreflight report with your job is like sending along a copy of InPreflight. The PDF reports are like interactive screenshots of the InPreflight window with the detailed link info saved in PDF comments. FEATURES OVERVIEW: Preflight
