Quite Revealing Quite Revealing is designed for pre-press professionals, and those producing files for press use (much as we hate to admit it, if you don't work in design for press, or pre-press, or don't know what pre-press is, this plug-in probably won't help you). It aims to show information that is otherwise difficult to find about a PDF document. Information like the plates used, exactly where fonts are used, transparency, overprinting and more.
But Quite Revealing goes further than that. It can also fix some of the more awkward problems that can arise - like differently named spot plates, unwelcome transfer functions, or ICC profiles that don't belong.

Is Quite Revealing a pre-flight tool?
We prefer to think of Quite Revealing as "post pre-flight"! There is a lot of good pre-flight software around now, which will tell you quickly what documents have problems. Quite Revealing's strengths are in showing you where the problems lie - for fixing them, for working around them, or for deciding who is to blame...
