Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does preflight check?

Fonts, images, color spaces, transparency, resolution, and PDF structure for print readiness.

What happens if issues are found?

A detailed report lists each issue with severity, affected pages, and suggested fixes. Use our optimization tools to resolve common issues.

Is this the same as PDF/A validation?

No. Preflight checks print-readiness (DPI, color, fonts). PDF/A validation checks archival compliance. Use 'Validate Compliance' for PDF/A.

Should I preflight every document before printing?

Yes, for commercial printing. It catches issues like low-resolution images, missing fonts, and RGB colors that cause poor print output.
