documents and prepare them for final output and shipping

Preflight InDesign documents

InPreflight is a comprehensive quality control solution which quickly checks document fonts, colors and links - InPreflight is on average 2-10 times faster than FlightCheck - and lets you instantly locate potential problems according to user-defined preflight presets. With InPreflight's cleverly designed interface you can make decisions quickly and easily.

Package multiple documents

InPreflight Pro is also a powerful packaging automation solution which allows users to preflight and package multiple documents. Among other abilities, it can collect all files into one folder, eliminating the need to collect the same links multiple times for each design. The savings result in gigabytes of space and hours of production time.

Print and save PDF graphic reports

InPreflight lets users print graphic preflight reports and save them as PDF, providing an easy way to analyze, archive and send reports to service providers. Supplying InPreflight report with your job is like sending along a copy of InPreflight - with the detailed link info saved in PDF comments.

Why Markzware Is Afraid of InPreflight?

Markzware registered the domain inpreflight-dot-com just three days after the first public beta of InPreflight^™ was released in October 2006. And humbly redirected it to their own site. Why would such a well known company as Markzware employ such cheap and low business tactics? Whatever the reasons are, we're flattered by these actions of FlightCheck creators as it's just another evidence that InPreflight was a groundbreaking preflight solution from the very beginning.

InPreflight can ask you to choose the destination folder for your collected jobs every time you package the documents or daily.
