Pitstop Professional for Acrobat
Page 7
PitStop provides a snapshot, or visual representation of the state of a PDF at the time it was saved after an editing session. Use this to revert to a previous version of your PDF. However, you don’t have to save this snapshot at the end of each session and instead could simply select any session from a list and save its snapshot at any stage in your workflow.
If you have regular sequences of tasks which you have to do a number of times — either within a single PDF or in multiple PDFs — you can simplify those repetitious tasks by grouping a series of them into an action list. Action lists make powerful automation possible such as adding or removing logos, page headers, or converting colors. Then, once you have created an action list, you can reuse it. Simply put, action lists allow you to build powerful document-modifying scripts directly into your preflighting process.

When you run an action list or PDF profile in your PDF, a number of properties of your PDF will be checked and, if necessary, fixed. Since you’ll want to know exactly what was fixed or changed, enter the Enfocus navigator. The navigator makes this a snap and depending on your Enfocus preferences (if you wish) the navigator can appear right after you have run an action kist or PDF profile.
Enfocus engineers have totally revamped the Enfocus navigator that enables interactive fixing and speeds up file repair by clearly indicating where the errors are, contributing to the productive and intuitive preflight and fixing experience. With a clear overview of all errors and warnings, and a variety of highlighting possibilities, it is straightforward to find and fix any error interactively. Each PitStop panel has a help section explaining its functionality, making it easier for users to correctly employ every function. It was a breeze to get information on the fly and I felt like a pro in no time. In addition, the preflight report help section has been integrated giving concise, yet complete, information on the messages found on the preflight report. This allows you to act instantly and accurately on errors found in your report.
