InPreflight is a comprehensive quality control and file packaging solution for Adobe InDesign. It quickly gathers extensive information about document fonts, colors and links and lets you instantly locate potential problems according to user-defined settings. InPreflight saves you hours of checking your documents manually and dealing with consequences of costly mistakes.
InPreflight's packaging solution goes way beyond the built-in capabilities of InDesign and, among other things, automates packaging of multiple documents [see screenshot]. It can collect all files into one folder, eliminating the need to collect the same links multiple times for each design. This is especially useful when collecting multiple InDesign files that share the same linked images. The savings can result in gigabytes of saved space and hours of production time.
InPreflight also serves as a powerful information tool that conveniently concentrates all necessary info in one place and reveals several link attributes otherwise unavailable in InDesign.

InPreflight is what InDesign's
preflight should have been. |

| InPreflight offers healthy competition for some of the larger, more mature software competitors. A reasonably priced preflight tool for those of us who… want a simple way to check our files and eliminate costly mistakes. |

| I found InPreflight to be an excellent program to use. It lets me know if I have any problems with the job I’m doing before I write a pdf. |

What FlightCheck should have been!
All of their versions do the same as your software at only 10 times the price and 10 times slower at least. |
