As publishing professional, you know that PDF files can be troublesome to work with.
They are not generated as expected, do not output as expected and more often than not you have to edit the file even though Adobe Acrobat does not support it.
PitStop Pro now brings you a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat that offers the solution to those problems.
Impressive array of editing tools
PitStop Pro was developed specifically for use in a demanding, deadline-driven professional environment and has the right tools for the right job.
An extensive array of editing tools makes it easy to do last-minute corrections:
Edit text
Move colors
Move, rotate
or scale objects
...
Fixing last-minute problems is now a mere matter of seconds!
Global changes to the rescue
In working with long documents or to fix problems across a number of pages in a PDF file, global changes come to the rescue.
Each global change can be customized to do exactly what you need and accomplishes changes automatically across a complete file./font>
Apply stamps
Insert cover pages
Renumber pages
Convert all colors
… all done in just seconds.
The built-in industry-standard preflight engine checks all aspects of your PDF files to detect missing or corrupt fonts, incorrect colors, objects without bleed and much more…
It supports standards such as PDF/X, the Ghent PDF Workgroup specifications and the profiles created by your user association, publisher or printer. You can generate a full preflight report that lists all problems found in your files or you can choose to use the navigator to pinpoint the exact error object. The navigator can often even fix the problems for you.
Accurate detailed preflight information
When it’s important to know for sure that a particular PDF file has been preflighted and by whom, the open, standards-based
Certified PDF technology embedded in PitStop Pro comes in handy.
It embeds the results of the preflight in the actual PDF file and certifies the file with a standard digital signature. Never doubt the quality of the files you receive or waste time unnecessarily preflighting incoming files again.
In short, whatever problems you may face with troublesome PDF files, PitStop Pro helps you fix them quickly and efficiently without ever leaving Adobe Acrobat.
