It's not that PDF2Go files are crappy, it is that they work best with other CT/LW workflows. All a PDF2Go file is, is the CT & LW files wrapped inside a PDF. Downsampling them for softproofing is a a risky at best solution. If you need a low res PDF then run the incoming PS file through normalizer as a second process. Or, do all that work up front.

PDF2Go work quite well, I published magazines every month with it and TIFF/IT-P1 files too. I also sent PDF2Go files to my QuickMaster DI and didn't have any problems. And we were a general commercial printer...
