Print-ready PDF generator for flyers, posters, brochures, business cards, postcards, and letterhead
Short answer
A print-ready PDF generator should create the correct trim size, bleed, crop marks, embedded fonts, CMYK output, and preflight report. Trim Proof turns a print brief into a checked PDF/X proof by separating AI-assisted creative assets from the deterministic prepress step that makes the final file printable.
Use this page when you need to turn a plain-English print brief into a PDF that a printer can inspect without guessing the trim size, bleed, fonts, color workflow, or raster resolution.

What makes a PDF print-ready?
A PDF is print-ready when the printer can impose and produce it without guessing. The file should have correct trim and bleed boxes, embedded fonts, printer-safe color handling, high-resolution raster assets, and visible crop marks when requested.
Why Trim Proof separates AI from prepress
AI image models are useful for creative direction and artwork, but they do not reliably control PDF boxes, ICC profiles, CMYK output, or vector typography. Trim Proof keeps those final properties in deterministic code.

Common questions
Does Trim Proof rasterize text?
No. Deliverable text is typeset as real embedded vector fonts in the deterministic composition layer.
Can I try it without paying?
Yes. Create a free account first; dummy proof mode then creates a sample proof and preflight report before you configure a paid export.
