Adobe PDF and Adobe InDesign Preflight without CS Plugins; keep it simple…
Here was a post that showed up on my “preflight” watch-list this weekend, which I found interesting:
| I would like to preflight PDF-documents if there any RGB-images without any embedded ICC-profile. I only want to check RGB-images and not the CMYK’s. I just want this to be a warning so I can contact the supplier of the PDF-document. I don’t want to assign any profile to the images.Is this possible in Acrobat Pro 9 or Pitstop 08?It is possible to check if there are any untagged images, but I just want to check the RGB ones. |

It is important to note that FlightCheck Professional would be the *perfect* candidate for this task, as it can preflight both the PDF as well as the InDesign Adobe file and many other file types besides Adobe InDesign files. FCPro can also specifically let you know if the Adobe PDF has RGB images which do not have ICC Profiles attached and ignore the CMYK images.
By using one stand-alone application like FlightCheck, instead of several different methods, it makes the workflow simpler, more dependable and thus gaining maximum efficiency. Try it. Watch here:
