PitStop 2019

The PitStop user base is over 100,000 and growing. With the release of PitStop Pro 2019, PitStop Server 2019, and PitStop 2019 SDK came features that made users very happy:

Preflight for digital printers: A specific preflight profile for digital printers has been included that optimizes and reports the amount of ‘clicks’ each page will generate. This profile automatically handles objects that look black, and ensures they only create one click.

Rasterize Selection: PitStop Pro 2019 offers prepress operators the ability to select specific elements within a PDF page, such as very complex vector art, and rasterize only that selection. This allows users to simplify complex pages, while maintaining the highest quality. Previously the only way to handle such pages was to use the archaic technique of converting the whole page to an image. The new approach means that only the problem element needs to be rasterized while the remaining content is untouched.

Object Browser: A PDF file is made up of many stacked objects. Very often, selecting an object is difficult because the needed object is obscured. The new Object Browser removes all that complexity, and makes object selection easy by displaying the PDF Object Stack in a list tree view, so the operator simply clicks on the required element to select it.
