Toronto (ON), Canada (April 29, 2014) — Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of InPreflight 2.11.7, a maintenance update to its document preparation solution for Adobe InDesign.

Automatic batch packaging:
InPreflight Pro can collect multiple InDesign jobs automatically with the option to package all files into one folder, eliminating the need to collect the same links multiple times for each design and saving users gigabytes of disk space and hours of production time.

Quality control:
InPreflight quickly checks InDesign documents for common problems such as missing links, fonts, unwanted colors, illegal link locations and more.

Graphic preflight reports:
Users can print graphic preflight reports and save them as PDF files with the option to include a detailed paragraph styles report for typography professionals.
