Check a deck

Use this when a deck came back from an AI and you want to know whether it is actually sound before you rely on it.

Steps

1. Open Check and load the file.
2. Read the report.
3. Fix anything named, or paste the report to your AI and ask for a corrected file.

What it looks at

• Whether the protected parts survived — the style block, the @page rule and the sizing script. Models sometimes "helpfully" rewrite them.
• Whether the deck is self-contained, or quietly fetches a font.
• Whether it renders without JavaScript, which is what printing and converting both require.
• Whether the file is complete rather than truncated.
• Which conformance level it reaches.

Gotchas

• A pass is not a proofread. The check is about mechanics, not whether your argument is any good.
• Failures name a cause. Fixing the named thing usually fixes several symptoms at once.
