PageProof unveils PreProof™, giving creative teams better first proofs and fewer review rounds

PageProof’s new PreProof™ capability helps designers catch spelling, brand, and compliance issues while they’re still designing — before a proof is ever created.

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND — August 12, 2026 — PageProof, the industry-leading online proofing platform for enterprises, creative agencies, and marketing teams, today announced the launch of PreProof™, a new AI-powered capability that applies the familiar “preflight” concept to the creative review process.

Powered by PageProof Intelligence^®, PreProof™ brings quality and brand checks earlier into the creative process, helping designers resolve issues before reviewers ever see a proof. The result is better first proofs, fewer review rounds, and faster approvals.

PreProof™ helps designers catch preventable issues before a proof is even created and sent out for review – saving significant time.

Why quality checks should happen before review

Most designers are familiar with preflight — the process of checking a document for technical issues before it’s sent to print or production. But preflight has traditionally focused on output readiness, not review readiness.

Every issue that surfaces during the review process, however small, creates additional work: comments, revisions, another proof version, and another round of review. Multiplied across projects, these preventable issues become a significant drain on time and productivity.

PreProof™ changes that. While a designer is still refining a design, PreProof™ analyzes the work to help identify any ssues with spelling and grammar, brand guidelines, packaging requirements, accessibility, legal compliance, and other team-defined standards.

By resolving these issues early, designers give reviewers more time to focus on meaningful creative and strategic feedback rather than preventable corrections.

Key benefits of PreProof™

Fewer proof versions: Catch issues before a proof is created, reducing unnecessary revisions and review rounds.

Faster approvals: Better first proofs mean less back-and-forth and quicker sign-off.

Sharper reviewer focus: Enable reviewers to concentrate on creative and strategic feedback rather than preventable corrections.

Broader quality coverage: Check spelling and grammar, brand guidelines, packaging requirements, accessibility, legal compliance, and more.

Checks tailored to your team: Use PageProof Intelligence^® agents configured around your organization’s standards, guidelines, and requirements.

Built into the design process: Run checks without leaving the tools where creative work is being produced, starting with the PageProof plugin for Adobe InDesign.

Availability

PreProof™ is available in the PageProof plugin for Adobe InDesign and will be rolled out across additional PageProof design plugins, including Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Express, Figma, Canva, and Microsoft Office.
