PDF Print Checker
Know if your PDF is print-ready in seconds. 100% local.
A privacy-first, browser-based preflight tool for designers. Drag and drop your PDF to instantly verify CMYK colors, 3mm bleeds, and embedded fonts before sending it to the press. Files are processed 100% locally. No server uploads required.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of PDF Print Checker.
I built this tool out of pure frustration. If you do any sort of graphic design, you know the pain of sending a file to a commercial printer only to get an email back hours later: "File rejected: Contains RGB elements" or "Missing 3mm bleed."
Unless you pay for Adobe Acrobat Pro and know how to navigate its complex Preflight panel, checking these basic print requirements is a nightmare.
Enter PDF Print Checker:
🎨 CMYK Verification: Spots sneaky RGB elements that will ruin print colors.
📐 Bleed Checks: Verifies TrimBox and BleedBox margins instantly.
🔤 Font Checks: Ensures all your typography is embedded.
🔒 100% Local Privacy: Client NDAs are strict. That's why I built this to process entirely inside your browser. No files are ever uploaded to a server. You can literally turn off your Wi-Fi and the tool still works.
The basic pass/fail scan is completely free. We also offer a premium download if you need a detailed, layer-by-layer report to see exactly where the errors are hiding.
I'd love to hear your feedback, especially from fellow designers and print shop operators. Drop any questions below! 👇
