What is Artwork Validator?

Artwork Validator is the tool that audits your packaging before printing. It detects typographical, color, image, and code errors in your PDF.

Artwork Validator is an Artwork Process service designed to review packaging designs —labels, boxes, leaflets, blisters, and envelopes— from a PDF.
You upload the file, the system analyzes it, and provides you with a clear report on what needs to be corrected. Fewer risks, more control in each project.

Technical validation of your design

A small error turns into a big cost: an illegible typeface, an RGB that should be CMYK, a low-resolution image, or a barcode that doesn't scan.
Artwork Validator turns that critical review into a simple workflow:

  • You organize the work by projects and designs.
  • You upload the design's PDF.
  • You receive an audit report with findings and evidence.
  • You correct with discernment… and avoid surprises in printing.

It's a free entry service to the Artwork Process ecosystem: ideal for design, quality, regulatory teams, and agencies that need an objective second reading before approving for production.
It does not replace your professional judgment: it reinforces it. It gives you a technical and traceable basis to decide with more confidence.

What does Artwork Validator check?

Each PDF goes through a battery of technical controls oriented to printing and readability.

Artwork Validator

Word / PDF Comparator

  • Upload a reference Word (.docx) alongside the artwork in PDF
  • Full paragraph comparison: text found, partial, or not found
  • Specific text search within the PDF
  • Location by page and visual evidence
  • Search history to review and document content ↔ design contrast

Typographic Dictionary

  • Defines the correct form of critical words and phrases (brand, product, claims, legal…)
  • Registers incorrect or unwanted variants
  • Searches the PDF for typographical inconsistencies against your dictionary
  • Reusable results in the audit report

Ideal for homogenizing naming, claims, and sensitive texts across designs

Braille Validation

If the packaging includes Braille, indicate it when uploading the PDF. The system detects the areas, translates them according to the language, and shows you the result in the report.

  • Braille detection in the PDF (Unicode font and/or vector points)
  • Translation to readable text according to the language (grade 1, pharmaceutical packaging)
  • Crop image by zone to review what has been read
  • Warning if the Braille does not appear to be in spot color or Pantone
  • Separate tool: converts text to Braille to check the expected content

PDF Comparator / PDF

Compare the audited PDF with the final version (e.g., outlined fonts) and mark visual differences page by page.

  • Upload the final PDF along with the already audited design
  • Visual diff per page: differing areas are highlighted in red
  • Ideal for checking that the outlining has not cut, moved, or altered the layout
  • The result is included in the audit report, with an image of each compared page
