Inspect PDF files before handing them off
PDF Preflight presents the technical properties of a PDF document in a structured analysis. It helps reveal whether page sizes, fonts, metadata, and other document characteristics fit the production or publication workflow you have planned.
What the inspection covers
- Check page count, page formats, and dimensions.
- Review document information and embedded metadata.
- Get an overview of fonts used or embedded in the file.
- Inspect detectable technical standards and document properties.
How to run a preflight
- Open the PDF document you want to examine.
- Work through the analysis sections for pages, fonts, and metadata.
- Use unusual findings as a starting point for corrections or follow-up questions.
Visibility instead of a blind handoff
The tool does not modify the PDF and is not a substitute for a binding print approval. It provides a quick inventory that makes possible issues visible and improves communication between design, development, and production.
