Low resolution check

[tomhoens]

Hi all,

I have a question.
We work in Indesign CS on Mac.
Is there an option in the program or applescript available that runs a check on every image to determine if the resoltion is ok for printing or not?
The flight check can only alert on color problems. We often send out pdf files to the printer and get them back including low res images.

Tnx for your help,
Tom

Dear Marcus,

Thanks for your reply.
We need to check files that contain + 200 images. We where thinking more of an alert list where you could see the images below a predefinded dpi rate...

Best regards,
Tom

Locate the free Scale Alert plugin.

Note that this only checks scale percentages. It does not take into account the original resolution of the image. In the ideal situation, you would not have any images in your library that are less than 300 ppi.

Ideally, this is why you create a proof print. No software is going to replace the human eye for confirming that a layout looks okay.
