Bespoke Enfocus Workflow Automation

Course Details

The Enfocus product suite and technologies (Enfocus PitStop Professional, PitStop Server, Instant PDF, Certified PDF) have become de facto standards in producing and preflighting PDF files for print workflows. With Enfocus products you can automate and guarantee quality right from PDF production to preflighting and last minute changes before documents go to press.

In this comprehensive introduction to Enfocus-based PDF workflows taught by an Enfocus Certified trainer, we look in detail at each of the key technologies provided by Enfocus for PDF workflows and see how to integrate them to produce a solid, error-free workflow. A wide range of topics examining all aspects of PDF production and reliability will be covered during the 2 days.

By the end of this 2 day course you will be confident producing Certified PDFs using Instant PDF; you will know how to edit, make global changes to and preflight PDF documents using PitStop Professional; and you will be able to create an automated preflighting workflow using PitStop Server. These skills can then be applied to your in-house workflow but also to you document suppliers, producers and printers in order to assure perfect output every print run.
