Enfocus releases Pitstop 13

Enfocus has released PitStop 13, the latest version of its handy PDF production utility. Enfocus has re-designed the preflight capability, which now includes a Preflight Restrictions feature that allows the checks and fixes included in a preflight profile to be limited to certain aspects of a PDF. For example, a PDF page box, a certain page or pages, a particular area or specific elements of a PDF, even different layers within a PDF file can each be checked in different ways, depending upon user requirements.

There’s a new option to generate bleed where none currently exists plus the ability for users to customise the language and content of the error messaging within Preflight reports, including the use of languages for which the software has not yet been localised.

Andrew Bailes-Collins, Senior Product Manager responsible for the PitStop product family, explains: “As PDF files are now being used for more and more complex print jobs and deadlines are becoming increasingly tighter, it became obvious to the PitStop development team that the current Preflight engine needed some improvements in order to support the current and future needs of our users.

Pitstop also now gains the option to pay via subscription licensing. A single monthly subscription for PitStop Pro will cost £25 per month, or £20 per month with an annual prepaid contract at £240 whereas a perpetual license cost £579. The option for subscription licensing will be available when PitStop 13 is released in April 2015.

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.
