Enfocus announces that the latest version of its PDF quality control software, PitStop 13 update 2, will be released on Monday 30th of May. This release will include customer-driven enhancements that give users in a variety of markets the ability to preflight even the most complex PDFs. The features in PitStop 13 update 2 will also include support for a new upcoming industry standard, new packaging preflight functionality, updated Pantone libraries and improvements to preflight restrictions.

    “Since its introduction, PitStop has supported PDF users in Graphic Arts by giving them the tools to detect and correct errors in their PDFs before they become big mistakes in production. The release of PitStop 13 update 2 will expand the benefits of this solution. By using new industry standards – and our own innovation – we can now offer extended preflight capabilities to handle even the most complex PDFs in markets such as Packaging, Large format and Labelling,” says Andrew Bailes-Collins, senior product manager at Enfocus.

   PitStop 13 update 2 will include several new Actions and default Action Lists that introduce users to this new standard.   These new Actions can be used in conjunction with existing PitStop preflight and correction functionality, to really extend the Preflight possibilities when creating or using an ISO 19593-1 based workflow.  Using PitStop 13 update 2, users can perform packaging-specific preflight checks on PDF files created with Esko applications.
