SmartProof – a tool you must have (2)

Preflighting on the incoming jobs

The problem is that no matter how perfect the source data is, PDF generation itself create errors which can only be detected with sophisticated software. In the lifecycle of an average print job, the prepress department is the first place, where properly configured, sophisticated PDF checking should take place.

Smartproof preflight solution attempts to put this back to the right track. It's a configurable, rule-based tool to filter out documents which will surely fail at the press, and corrects errors and makes the file more reliable, compact and robust.  Only the printable, error-free files get uploaded to the service provider, saving bandwidth and other precious resources at both ends.

Compare changes visually and automatically

Jobs coming into SmartProof can be set to compare automatically, if there is nothing wrong with the changes it will be flagged as OK ; if there is problem from the comparison, it will be flagged for further visual check.  This will improve productivity greatly when you have to deal with a job in hundreds of pages.

All changes will be automatically filed as a new version under the same file name.  This will help not to lose sight on any changes made to a particular job.  Besides all changes made to the job, will also be kept on record. 

Adding annotations and comments on the actual job

Picture means a thousand words; Smart proof allows an operator to communicate with editors, and designers where changes have to be made.  Adding a comment or annotation helps to clarify matter.
