FAQ
- Is this a full print-readiness check?
- No — it scans the PDF's parsed internal structure for image color space declarations, which is a useful signal but not a complete colorimetric audit. For print-shop preflight, a dedicated tool like Adobe Acrobat Preflight is more authoritative.
- Why does it matter if an image is RGB vs CMYK?
- Most commercial printing uses CMYK ink. An RGB image sent to print gets converted automatically, which can shift colors unexpectedly — checking beforehand helps avoid surprises.
