I use Acrobat to check resoultions, color spaces, spot colors, fonts, pdf standards and much more. (I use Publisher for real projects since it is out of beta.) The best way I have right now to check overlapping text is by unchecking View/Preview Mode and check View/Show Text Flow. This seems to work pretty well (Publisher 1.7.3) Okay, thanks, that's a good workaround. Also, I think there's no alternative to check the actual PDF to verify the export. But for the overlapping text, there should still be a way to "jump" to problems like this, or wrong dimensions of an image, etc. Quote Alexander Walther, Informationsdesigner B.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeV Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 An additional vote for preflight – essential for long-form or element-rich documents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrettm30 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 It doesn't look like I have commented on this yet (I can't keep up with even my own posts). So let me say that a preflight panel of some sort would be a nice feature. I can envision it as the kind of thing that would be a version 2 addition.

fde101 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 For those who did not catch this, it was already mentioned in another thread somewhere that an upcoming beta for 1.8 will be adding a preflight panel of some sort. No details yet on what might be included on the panel. Johannes and borkia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted December 13, 2019 Wait no longer to see our first beta to include this feature. 43 minutes ago, AdamW said: Preflight We have introduced a preflight check feature which can be used to ensure that your document exports or prints as intended. The preflight check runs as a background process, and can be run on on demand, prior to output, or 'live' on a continual basis. We currently have a number of separate tests with more planned for inclusion in the final 1.8 and in the future. Preflight is configured via the 'Preflight' panel, which supports profiles to specify which tests should be run if you desire. An indicator is provided on the status bar for immediate feedback on the process. Note we have requested updated icons as we are aware that colour alone is not a good way to represent the different statuses. Please feel free to suggest additional tests - it's likely that many will already be under consideration but please don't let that deter you. The 1.8.0 builds are in links at the top of these beta forum posts Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.523 for Windows Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.523 for macOS Johannes 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
