FlightCheck File Document

FlightCheck File Document refers to the document application version, document language, and supporting files of the document to be checked during the preflighting process by Markzware FlightCheck.

Version – FlightCheck scans through your system and looks to see what file applications you have present, like which version of Quark or InDesign you have. This Ground Control triggers if the document that you are scanning for preflight was created with a version different than the latest version that FlightCheck detected. **In today’s world, many of us have several versions of DTP applications loaded on our computers to deal with older file types. Thus, this Ground Control is set to “Off” by default.

Language – This Ground Control will trigger if the document was created in a language that is different from the language for which the application is set. For example, you receive a document created in a French version of InDesign and you are running InDesign on an English system. When you scan the document created in the French version, on your system, this Ground Control should trigger. **This does not work with OS X multi-language capabilities if you switch your Operating System Language.

Supporting Files – This Ground Control triggers if the document you are opening requires an XTension or Plugin in order to be opened or printed. This is useful if, for instance, you are receiving incorrect output at print time, but everything looks OK, a certain plugin or XT that formats the print stream for output may be missing (whether printing to file or directly to a printer).
