Adobe PDF and Adobe InDesign Preflight without CS Plugins

InDesign preflight is recommended for Adobe InDesign prepress workflows. Markzware FlightCheck provides thorough preflight reports for document quality control checks before output. Here was a post that showed up on my watch-list for InDesign preflight, which I found interesting:

It also would be nice if it was possible to preflight InDesign documents if there were any untagged RGB images used. My intention is to create an InDesign script to perform a preflight.

I would like to preflight PDF-documents if there any RGB-images without any embedded ICC-profile. I only want to check RGB-images and not the CMYK’s. I just want this to be a warning so I can contact the supplier of the PDF-document. I don’t want to assign any profile to the images.Is this possible in Acrobat Pro 9 or Pitstop 08? It is possible to check if there are any untagged images, but I just want to check the RGB ones.

FlightCheck is patented preflighting technology for InDesign preflight, as it can check both PDF and Adobe InDesign files, as well as many other file types. Using one stand-alone application like FlightCheck, instead of several different methods, can streamline the workflow for InDesign preflight, making it simpler and more dependable, thereby gaining maximum efficiency.

FlightCheck can also specifically let you know if the Adobe PDF has RGB images which do not have ICC profiles attached and ignore the CMYK images. Try it. Watch here:
