Acrobats Preflight tools are powerful and complex. But you can simplify your preflight life by creating a standalone droplet. Then, any PDF you drop onto it will be tested against specific project requirements, and can then be automatically moved into a different folder and a report generated.

A few of the choices are:

  • List all images
  • List non CMYK objects
  • List text using non-embedded fonts
  • Document creates more than four plates
  • PDF/X-1a compliant
  • PDF/X-3 compliant
  • Magazine ads
  • Sheetfed offset
  • Web offset
  • List images below 250 ppi
