One of the other new features, the ‘add hems and pockets action’, mirrors page content based on trim and bleed, which Enfocus said would be useful for large-format production. Users can also now convert Type 3 fonts to normal page content, while another new action splits the stroke and fill of an object into two new objects.

Other PDF production relevant additions to PitStop include the ability to align and distribute objects – previously a manual action that can now be automated, and the ability to fix multiple font subsets to improve output performance. While PitStop has a standard ‘action’ for breaking apart spreads, there will now be an additional action for creating printer or reader spreads. This is what an operator would do when manually editing a path,” said Enfocus senior product manager Andrew Bailes-Collins.Īlso new is booklet imposition.

We no longer mirror content, we now extend the actual line-art. “We made a huge leap forward with the way we’re adding bleed to line-art.

Enfocus said this feature makes quick pre-press work of PDF files with dielines or digital cutlines. PitStop Pro 2021 allows users to check, clip and create bleed along a vector contour. PitStop Pro 2021, PitStop Server 2021 and PitStop Library SDK 2021 are now available from the Belgian developer, which said it has listened to its customers to develop major new PDF editing and quality control features.
