PitStop 13 update 1 resolves this limitation by giving the user the ability to select pages by counting from the back of the document. In previous versions of PitStop, for example, it was very difficult to select the inside cover page. For example, if a printer produces a saddle-stitched job, a typical file would have a page order where the pages are the front cover, inside front cover, inside back cover and back cover.īut the covers of these types of publications often need a different preflight check than the inside covers or the rest of the job. PitStop 13 update 1 also includes customer-requested improvements to the Select Page Action functionality.Ĭustomers reported that the Select Pages Action had a limitation regarding the selection of pages from the end of a document.
Restriction Actions improve the accuracy and precision of checking what can be very complex PDF files, and reduce the amount of unnecessary warnings or errors generated. The Preflight check will then only check objects that are within or overlapping that shape, ensuring that technical or other non-printing objects, such as a legend, are ignored. The new Select Inside Contour feature of PitStop 13 update 1 builds on this concept, giving users - especially Packaging & Label printers - a way to select objects only within a defined shape, such as a Dieline or Cutter Guide. Restrictions enable the user to limit the objects or parts of the PDF that are checked, resulting in a preflight check that is more accurate and precise. When Enfocus released PitStop 13, it included a major change to the Restrictions functionality in the PitStop Preflight engine. This functionality can also be used to distribute a defined number of objects across an area, and enable a step and repeat type of functionality. One of the main uses for this feature is the placement of grommets for large format printing. This feature includes expanded functionality that helps users simplify the process of adding graphic objects. PitStop 13 update 1 includes a greatly enhanced Add Copied Graphic Action. Improvements on Adding Grommets and Graphics for the Sign & Display Market Testing has shown that typical speed improvements are between 10-20%, with customers who use physical hard disks experiencing the biggest benefit. Version 13 update 1 of PitStop Server includes enhancements that improve the speed, giving users a faster way to get jobs through their respective organizations. PitStop Server Speed Improvements Up to 10-20% Together, these new features support PitStop as the leading PDF preflight and auto-correction solution. New features in PitStop 13 update 1 include improved processing speed, support for adding grommets, preflight restrictions within a shape (such as a cutter guide), and a new preflight profile for fixing PDFs created from Microsoft Office documents. New features in this release were developed to provide users in a wide range of markets - including sign & display, packaging & label, and digital & commercial printing - with new tools to address challenges in daily production. Enfocus PitStop 13 update 1 is now available.
