Markzware

FlightCheck Professional 5.8 now has expanded PDF checking based upon the Ghent PDF Workgroup’s (GWG) PDF/X PLUS specification. The GWG has established best practice specifications for the production and preflighting of PDF files for a variety of specialist applications. Now, FlightCheck comes with built-in ground controls that validate PDFs to the GWG specifications for more secure and productive digital workflows. A number of other customer suggestions have been implemented in this upgrade, including: improved handling for gradients and blends; embedded ICC profile detection for PhotoShop EPS; improved text overprint reporting for PDF; improved artificial text styling detection for PDF; detection of special print options for InDesign files.
