Preflight for Acrobat iOS!

[tsim777]

Dear Adobe, 

please include PDF-preflight in your Acrobat for iOS versions!!!! That would be extremely helpful and an overdue addition to your staggering development of prepress functionality! Remember your roots.

Thanks, Tim

Obviously, we cannot include the Preflight capabilities in the current “free” iOS version of Acrobat. Would you be willing to pay for an Acrobat Pro for iOS that would include Preflight and other such professional workflow features (and by “pay” I don't mean $19.99 for a perpetual license including updates)?

Hi Dov,

since I haven't noticed any development in that direction over the last 15 month, I thought I'd pickup the conversation. In regards to your earlier question: yes, I would be willing to pay (a reasonable price) for such features. But I also believe that such functionality could (and should) be included in CC-subscriptons. After all partial feature parity was or is the whole idea of the Acrobat DC upgrade, isn't it!?

I think Adobe Lightroom has really shown the way of what is possible in that regard with more and more crossover features between the mobile- and desktop-app. I can now safely say that I can (pre)process my RAW-files truely on-the-go and pick up where I left from my desktop at home.

I would expect a similar 'on-the-go' preflight functionality from my Acrobat DC-app. There are faster and more user friendly mobile PDF-viewers available on the various appstores so I believe Adobe should offer more. I think the main problem is that Adobe has forgotten about its (initial) core user base in prepress. I hope Adobe will proof me wrong. I've posted some of my ideas also here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2365528

Looking forward to hearing your views.

All the best,
Tim
