Quite Revealing for Pre-press Issues
Quite Software’s Quite Revealing ($249) is a plug-in for Acrobat that displays and fixes problems in PDF files that are intended for print or pre-press.
In side-by-side before-and-after windows, you can see overprints, fonts, RGB colors, ICC profiles, separations, transparency, transfer functions and spot color plates. From there, you can choose to let Quite Revealing help you fix potential problems.
