FlightCheck’s Package Feature

The New “Package” capability in the FlightCheck® preflight application is a popular feature. That’s because it provides you the ability to collect all elements of your document, which includes all images and fonts. This function can add page previews and reports to the package. You also have the option of compressing the packaged job into a single ZIP archive.

The Package Feature allows you to enable or disable packaging for the file you are preflighting. Selecting the “Open Package” option supports applications that are compatible with ZIP archives.

Create An IDML For Packaging

A special bonus is the ability to enable the IDML checkbox. That’s because Markzware’s file conversion application, IDMarkz, is included in the full version of FlightCheck. IDMarkz creates IDML files for InDesign.

Package Images, Fonts, And Previews

FlightCheck will collect all of the images in your document. It can then package those images, along with all of the fonts and more.

One of the benefits that FlightCheck offers is that fonts do not even need to be active, in order for FlightCheck to see them. Naturally, if you would like to edit a document for which FlightCheck found inactive fonts, you must activate those fonts, in order to make the edits.

The “Packaging Page Previews” feature allows you to create a preview of every page in your entire document, as either a PDF or GIF, JPG, PNG, or TIFF. You can select one or all of these Page Preview file types for output that you would like to collect.
