Most of my vendors are in full-PDF workflow now. That's where PitStop comes in. I have FC, but rarely use it now--what really killed it for me was the interminably long wait to support Quark 7, as well as dragging with ID. Used to use it all the time, but very rarely now...

after tweaking the ground controls to match printer requirements, this ap is absolutely worthless when checking quark 6.5 and indesign cs2 files.

does not acknowledge revisions to the open file: quark and indesign files have to be reopened; all fonts have to be included before opening file; if you have it checking for non pantone colours, it will find colors that are not in the file; it finds fonts that are not in the file.

collecting fonts is problematic; have to check the font suitcase before sending out.

actually have to check all of the files after using flightcheck just to make sure that the files are okay.

so what is the point of using this software.

Why does it take about a year to startup and to check a document?

Catches most errors though...
