Are you a Workfront Proof customer? With Workfront Proof (formerly ProofHQ) being discontinued, finding the right alternative is vital for businesses and teams that rely on online proofing software.
PageProof is an online proofing platform that offers seamless integrations with Adobe Creative Cloud and your MarTech stack, powerful automated workflows, innovative smart proofing tools (an automatic barcode scanner, gridlines and ruler, checklists, ColorSep, and more), and industry-leading security.
The transition process to PageProof is smooth – customers have voted PageProof as the platform that is easiest to implement – and data migration options are available for moving your proofing history over to PageProof.
Why was ProofHQ discontinued?
In 1999, when online proofing was virtually unheard of, the original PageProof was founded, paving the way for other companies in the industry like ProofHQ in 2007.
ProofHQ’s journey took a turn in 2015 when it was acquired by Workfront, a provider of cloud-based work management solutions, which was subsequently acquired by Adobe. Under Workfront’s tenure, ProofHQ evolved into Workfront Proof, which formed part of the Adobe ecosystem.
Adobe has announced the discontinuation of renewals for Workfront Proof customers as of January 2024, shifting focus towards another product in their portfolio, Frame.io.
