Managed cloud-native preflight vs. complex CLI workflow engines.
Scale your print file checks without hosting servers or writing complex configuration scripts.
callas pdfToolbox is an undeniably powerful command-line and SDK engine. But it is built for classic print operations, requiring local servers, VMs, complex shell scripting, XML config tuning, and massive upfront licensing costs. For web-to-print companies and SaaS developers, managing local processing servers and license keys is a major distraction.
Filecheck handles preflight, auto-fixing, and storage routing out-of-the-box. There are no virtual machines to spin up, scale, or patch—just a simple REST API and JSON-based preflight rules.
A fully managed SaaS API. We manage the operating systems, libraries, and security updates, freeing your engineering team to code product features.
Define validation boundaries (DPI limits, color profiles, page sizes, font outline rules) using a clean JSON-based structure via dashboard or API.
Provides a drop-in Stripe-style upload widget. Filecheck handles client-side upload state, error indicators, and side-by-side previews automatically.
Scale horizontally instantly. No hardware license key validation constraints or node limitations during sudden traffic spikes.
Requires deploying, configuring, and updating your own Windows, macOS, or Linux VMs, increasing hosting and DevOps complexity.
Configuration profiles are managed through desktop software, XML, or custom JavaScript execution environments, requiring specialised preflight engineers.
Purely a server processing framework. Developers must manually code their own front-end widgets, upload states, and soft-proof layouts from scratch.
Bound to license keys per operating system server or CPU core. If you need to spin up temporary servers during busy peak hours, licensing acts as a hard blocker.
Connect your checkout to a fully managed preflight API. Pay only for what you process and eliminate server maintenance overhead.
