AI creative upstream

Print-ready PDF tools and prepress guides
Short answer
Trim Proof tools help turn print briefs into checked PDF/X proofs and explain the file-prep details printers ask for: CMYK-oriented output, bleed, crop marks, embedded vector text, image DPI, PDF/X, and preflight.
Browse the researched pages below by job. Trim Proof currently supports generated proofs for flyers, business cards, postcards, and letterhead. It is not a universal repair tool for every existing PDF or a client approval suite.
