In 2008 Enfocus wanted to find out who exactly their clients were. They held a survey. 4.840 users responded. Now who was using what kind of software and on what platform? Where do they live?

The most common preflight problems with PDF print-jobs.
About half have seen their print-destined PDF’s failing often and the most common problems are non embedded fonts, low resolution image usage and RGB color space used. (Replace non-embedded fonts with missing fonts.) Exactly what the problems were about fifteen years ago, when Markzware first introduced FlightCheck, which can postflight PDF files from Adobe Acrobat (and other softwares) as well as a range of source or native files like QuarkXPress, InDesign, Microsoft Publisher and more.
PDF preflight with FlightCheck is a must for quality assurance to avoid PDF preflight problems. Try the FREE FlightCheck demo and see how this preflight software can check Adobe Acrobat PDF, InDesign, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, Photoshop and many more file formats for potential printing problems before printing.
