Adobe InDesign CS4 and Live Preflight (videos)
Adobe InDesign CS4 software files – See how to live preflight them in an AdobeTV video by Rufus Deuchler:
“In this sixth episode of CSInsider|Design, I show the new Live Preflight feature in Adobe InDesign CS4. The term Preflight originates from the preflight checklists used by pilots prior to take off. In a publishing workflow, preflight is the process of checking a document for integrity and completeness, before it can move on in the workflow.” Source: http://graphicstart.com/item.php?f&itemid=1071437
He references a Wikipedia article which mentions this about preflight (postflight):
Preflighting is a term used in the printing industry to describe the process of confirming that the digital files required for the printing process are all present, valid, correctly formatted, and of the desired type. The term originates from the preflight checklist used by pilots. The term was first used in a presentation at the Color Connections conference in 1990 by consultant Chuck Weger.

Speaking of Chuck, watch what he has to say about this moment when he coined the term preflighting, to relate it to the print quality control process in prepress and publishing at a show called Color Connections (late 80′s/early 90′s)… and remember to use Markzware‘s FlightCheck to preflight Adobe InDesign CS4 and Adobe InDesign CS3 software, color files and more for quality print output. Filmed in 2008 at the GraphExpo show in Chicago:
CS4 files can be checked with Markzware FlightCheck, which can preflight Adobe InDesign file formats, including Adobe InDesign CS4, Adobe InDesign CS3, Adobe design, Adobe design CS3, Adobe design premium, Adobe design premium educational, Adobe design premium suite, Adobe design standard student, Adobe design suite cs3, Adobe design suite premium, etc. FlightCheck is the alternative to InDesign’s Live Preflight.
