Just had a 27‑page catalog where PitStop flagged 436 instances of 4‑color black in 8 pt text, overprint forced, and the “0.125 in bleed” was answered with crop marks only. My QC brain is converting, trapping, and extending boxes at 7:42 a.m., but the gremlin in me wants to hang the preflight report on the breakroom wall — anyone else keep a greatest-hits folder of client PDFs?
Sounds like a classic case of preflight drama! I’ve definitely got a folder full of client ‘greatest hits’ too. Ever thought of using something like @Adobe’s Action Wizard for automation?
I totally get the urge to hang that preflight report on the wall — it’s like a badge of honor! I once saved a particularly outrageous one just to remind myself why I love this job. Have you ever considered sharing some of those ‘greatest hits’ during team meetings for a good laugh?
