Should I Use FlightCheck Professional or PitStop Professional?
There is a great thread running over on PrintPlanet.com titled, “FlightCheck Pro vs. Pit Stop?” where the initial poster asks, “which one is best? And why?” The responses were interesting and for the most part accurate, such as;
“Can you preflight Quark, illustrator, eps, indesign or photoshop files in Pitstop?
That’s why my vote go to Flightcheck.”
Posted, ‘Ryan’ (implying that FlightCheck can preflight numerous file formats)‘HappyFriday’ posted;
“We run FlightCheck Professional on our native files and PDFs. When I have time, I often preflight PDFs in both FlightCheck and Acrobat.If we work with more PDFs, I would requested for Pitstop though.”

It general, FlightCheck Professional is for native or open files such as QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and PitStop Professional from Enfocus an EskoArtwork company for PDF jobs. Preflight and Postflight. FlightCheck can however check PDF print-jobs as well- yet does not correct them like PitStop (which can be dangerous anyway, but often a necessary evil and needed tool as well.)
