We spend countless hours creating an InDesign script that would output 3 different PDFs, one for each version. “If someone has not thanked you to the ends of the earth for Overlay PDF, they SHOULD! Just so you understand how BIG of a deal this is: we receive in PDFs from our design team on the east coast. PitStop 2020 will be able to overlay and merge one PDF document onto another to making a single document, while using variables for placement, resizing and opacity options. Now I can vectorize a logo for paths, offset my path, save custom registration and Thru-Cut swatches, and have a scaleable, printable ready for finishing file – all with out leaving PitStop!” - Amybeth Menendez, Print Workflows Assistant Manager, Macmillan Publishers, New York, USA “With trace object and custom swatch palette, Enfocus has absolutely taken Pitstop to the next level. Customers will find it valuable when creating varnishes, underprints or digital cutting paths. PitStop 2020 will allow us further enhance PDF quality checks and fixes throughout our business.” - Matthew Kay, Workflow Specialist, Bluetree Group, Rotherham, United KingdomĪlso new in PitStop 2020 is the ability to trace raster elements to create a vector shape. “The new computer vision functionality and ability to trace rasters to vectors are invaluable additions to Enfocus PitStop. This new technology has special value when files have particular legal or design restrictions such as a corporate identity or compliance rules.
The technology can even flag cropped or partial images that may occur in the file, and has options for size and rotation.
What that means is, PitStop will be able to look for images, and graphical shapes such as logos to check if they are present or absent in a PDF file. This enables PitStop Pro and Server to ‘see’ the visual content of a PDF file. Customer feedback has driven many of these advancements, helping Enfocus keep PitStop in its position as a must-have for print service providers’ said Andrew Bailes-Collins, Senior Product Manager, EnfocusĪmong the highlights is a new break-through patent pending Enfocus technology that uses Computer Vision techniques. The feature set offers new innovations, new automation possibilities, new Preflight checks and fixes, and specific new tools for working with vector graphics. “PitStop Pro and PitStop Server 2020 will release with a long list of new features and improvements. Their industry leadership comes from listening to customer needs, then building on and refining the technologies that keep them on top.
Enfocus PitStop has long been the often imitated, never duplicated PDF quality and repair go-to tool for prepress. Gent, Belgium, Enfocus, the leader in PDF quality control, advanced PDF editing and workflow automation for the graphic arts industry announces the release of PitStop Pro and PitStop Server 2020.
