About Preflight Online Every year printers spend thousands of hours (largely provided at no cost to customers) making corrections to digital files in order to make them "print ready." Preflight Online offers printers a way to avoid these delays and the substantial costs associated with them. Preflight Online is a proprietary hosted service provided by the Extensis Products Group that allows PDF and QuarkXPress documents to be checked for dozens of problems right on a customer's own computer. Because the inspection of documents always takes place on the customer's own machine, document security and bandwidth are not an issue; Preflight Online does not move or copy original documents to the Preflight server at any point in the process. When Preflight Online is integrated into a partner Web site, it can be customized to be completely branded with the parent Web site. It is available to service bureaus, printers, newspapers, and publishers on a subscription basis. Find out more at www.extensis.com/preflightonline.
