Analysing the PDF in your browser...
File analysed:
Send the result to your printer
Send it along with the file. Your printer sees at a glance that you already checked it.
Send by email opens your mail app with the result already written. Attach the PDF before you send it.
This is what your customer sees when they send you a file
With Entregarte, your customer uploads the PDF to a page carrying your brand and gets this same diagnosis, extended, against your rules, without you opening the file. You see the history of every attempt.
What this tool does not check
These are three basic geometry and font checks. If you need:
- That the background really reaches the bleed line (here only the PDF's boxes are read)
- Real resolution (DPI) of every embedded image
- Colour mode and profiles: CMYK, RGB, spot inks
- White overprint, which disappears on press
- Special-finish separations: foil, UV, embossing
- Safety margin against the trim line
- AI design review: typos, missing elements, layout
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes, and no sign-up. The check runs entirely in your browser, so it costs us nothing to offer and there is no usage limit.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is read with the browser file API and analysed on your own machine. It is never sent to a server, never stored, and we never see it. You can verify that: disconnect from the network after the page loads and the tool still works.
What exactly does it check?
Three things: the real page size and whether every page matches, the bleed available in millimetres on each side, and whether every font in the document is embedded. Those are the most common reasons a print shop sends a file back.
Why does it not check resolution or colour?
Because that means decompressing and inspecting every image in the PDF, and that cannot be done reliably inside a browser without taking forever. Those checks live in the product, which does process the file.
Can I trust the result?
Bleed and size come from the PDF's own boxes (TrimBox, BleedBox and MediaBox). If the PDF does not declare a bleed box we flag it, because the room up to the sheet edge may only be there for the crop marks. What it cannot see is whether the background really reaches the bleed: the product checks that, since it does process the file. Your supplier always has the final say.
Does it work for JPG, TIFF or Illustrator files?
PDF only here, since that is the format artwork is finalised in. Inside Entregarte you can define per campaign which formats you accept from your customers.
