Enfocushas announced the upcoming release of PitStop Pro and PitStop Server 2020. EnfocusPitStop has long been the often imitated, never duplicated PDF quality and repair go-to tool for prepress. Their industry leadership comes from listening to customer needs, then building on and refining the technologies that keep them on top. PitStop 2020 is no exception.
Among the highlights is a new break-through patent pending Enfocus technology that uses Computer Vision techniques. This enables PitStop Pro and Server to ‘see’ the visual content of a PDF file. 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. The technology can even flag cropped or partial images that may occur in the file, and has options for size and rotation. This new technology has special value when files have particular legal or design restrictions such as a corporate identity or compliance rules.
Also new in PitStop 2020 is the ability to trace raster elements to create a vector shape. Customers will find it valuable when creating varnishes, underprints or digital cutting paths.
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.Find and replace text is being added as Action List feature. A totally new check for bleed is also a major improvement as it works using a page-based approach as opposed to an object-based technology used in older versions.
