    Interesting. I would rather do my preflighting in-house though. It would take a while to have to move big files two extra times, to the cloud and from the cloud, to preflight each job. I guess this would work best for those with fat pipes (ample Internet bandwidth to spare.)

    Hi xfactor,

    I agree, depending on the size of jobs you receive, an in-house solution will be faster. If you have an 1GB file to upload, you'll spend more time waiting for file transfers than the actual preflighting and correction. It wouldn't make sense. Most of our interest has come from printers and publishers that deal with small to mid-size files (500mb and under). We also don't expect users to process every file they receive through FixMyPrintFile... only the ones they can't easily fix with their current software. It's the ones you can't fix with your current software that cause the biggest headaches and take up most of your time.

    Regards,
    Greg
