Automated cloud PDF/A preflight vs. manual desktop file conversion.
Audit, convert, and repair PDF uploads in real-time without requiring desktop software.
Adobe Acrobat Pro is the gold standard for desktop document editing. But it is designed for manual, one-by-one office use. Expecting users to open files, check for embedded fonts, run manual preflight profiles, convert to PDF/A, and then re-upload is a recipe for high rejection rates, delayed timelines, and massive support queues.
Filecheck automates the entire document gate. Directly integrated into your legal tech, court e-filing portal, or enterprise intake forms, it checks and converts incoming PDFs to PDF/A standards in milliseconds.
Embed validation directly into legal intake portals. Check document accessibility, font outlines, and encryption limits before ingestion.
Files are validated against ISO 19005 (PDF/A) standard parameters and auto-converted inside the upload pipeline in milliseconds.
If a file fails critical rules, Filecheck provides instant feedback (or repairs it automatically), preventing support tickets.
Performs rigorous archive audits, checking metadata schemas, color profiles, and tagging trees to ensure compliance.
Requires an operator to manually launch desktop software, select the preflight tool, choose a profile, and run validation step-by-step.
When portals reject raw files, users must download, purchase Acrobat Pro, configure compliance profiles manually, and re-export files.
Cannot be integrated into a high-volume server API or e-commerce storefront flow. Requires one local seat license per user.
Does not support webhooks, API rules, or automated storage routing, keeping document auditing disconnected from your business logic.
Yes. Acrobat’s preflight is manual: a person opens each file and runs a profile. Filecheck runs the same checks — and the fixes — automatically via API on every uploaded file, which is what e-filing portals and storefronts actually need at volume.
Use Filecheck’s free PDF preflight checker at filecheck.io/tools/pdf-preflight — it reports bleed, color, ink coverage, resolution, fonts and structure in the browser, free, no signup.
Yes. Filecheck validates against PDF/A-1b/2b/3b and PDF/UA and can convert as part of an automated workflow — per upload, not per person-hour. Every failed clause is reported with its rule reference.
No. It is a cloud API with an optional drop-in browser widget. There is nothing to install, license per seat, or keep updated.
