Drag-And-Drop Preflighting For Quality Control
Matt Mayerchak, Type Composition and InDesign Production Expert, as well as Principal at Mayerchak & Co., LLC, states, “There are several ways to preflight files with InDesign; but for ads, I find it best to use a multi-step approach. The first step is to use … FlightCheck from Markzware, just to see if there are any problems. … it’s a lot faster to just … drop it on the FlightCheck icon and verify that it’s OK.”
