Why aren't InDesign and Quark files supported?

InDesign and Quark files are not self-contained file types. They reference numerous other files such as images and fonts. Also, the output from these file types can vary depending on the output settings. As such, iMeet Central does not support these file types. We, therefore, recommend that customers Save As PDF and upload the PDF.

File size limits

There is no file size limit for proofs, as long as it's within your company account total storage allocation however we do recommend uploads up to 4GB per file.

Please note that larger files take more time to upload and if your connection is not stable the action may be terminated/broken. 

For the static proofs you can combine up to 50 pages.
