PreflightFlow
PDF preflight & automation for print teams - 100% local
Client PDFs arrive broken: RGB logos, missing bleed, low-res images... PreflightFlow catches them the moment they arrive -checks, safely corrects (new file, original untouched), rechecks, and sorts everything as READY or REVIEW. 100% local stand-alone app: no Acrobat plug-in, no cloud uploads. Free plan included, Pro at €19/month — a fraction of PitStop's price. Built for print teams on macOS and Windows. 14-day full trial, no card required.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built PreflightFlow after seeing print shops lose hours every week manually checking incoming PDFs, and reprinting jobs because a missing bleed or an RGB logo slipped through.
Existing tools are either expensive enterprise suites (PitStop, callas) or cloud services that force you to upload confidential client files. PreflightFlow is different:
→ 100% local: PDFs never leave your workstation or network shares
→ Safe corrections: writes a new PDF, never touches the original, then rechecks, with before/after proof you can archive
→ Smart Intake: automatically picks the right preflight profile based on file rules, no manual sorting
→ Watch folders + batch queues: process whole folders, route results to READY or REVIEW
→ Client-ready reports: when a file needs discussion, get a clear report and pre-written email, no more "your PDF is broken" phone tag
→ Versioned profiles: every job keeps its rules and full audit trail
macOS and Windows. Free plan with 5 checks/month, Pro at €19/month, Studio at €49/month (up to 3 seats). 14-day full trial, no card.
I'd love your feedback: how do you handle incoming file QC today, and what's the one check you'd never automate?
