What is the best preflight program to use these days. I"ve heard of pitstop, etc....
even the preflight in InDesign. (which I don't like - doesn't really answer anything)

I'd like to know if type is black or rgb black and is there a program that will let me change it for output.

Acrobat Pro has a number of preflight options and can convert RGB Black type to 100K (although one could argue that checking PDFs is really postflight!).

If you simply want better preflight for native files and PDFs, FightCheck from Markzware is one of the better programs.

PitStop Pro is one of the better programs for inspecting and editing PDFs--and requires Acrobat (Pro suggested).

Thanks David,
I work at a print publication, and get MANY different forms of pdf's.

I used FlightCheck in system 9 and loved it. Heard they didn't make the upgrade to OSX. I'll have to check that out.

How can you change rgb black type to 100K? I'm using CS2 so have accrobat pro.can you tell me where to look? I know how to change auto type to black type in InDesign when setting up for a plate, but thats as far as I could find. A friend has PitStop, but says he can't change to 100K. (old version?)

thanks for all your info
Lauri
