Displaying AQC Results

After submission files are uploaded and sent to be built into a PDF all designated files are sent to the AQC tool.  From the Submissions Waiting Approval or Revisions Waiting Approval pages, a link will appear labeled ‘View Artwork Quality Results’.  You should click on this link to view the results.  Journals have the option to require that you view the results before proceeding.

All files will be listed in the AQC Results, but only those designated as requiring analysis will display any results (e.g., Pass, Pass with Warning, Fail).  You may View the PDF, Download individual source files, and View the Artwork Quality Results for each file.

When the Artwork Quality Results are viewed a ‘Proflight Detail Report’ will provide analysis of the file.

The Artwork Quality Results will also display specific information regarding any problems with the file as well as possible solutions.  This means that you can make any necessary changes to the artwork files and upload new files, better suited for production.
