Once changes are made to images, you can immediately preview the results, saving you crucial time when it matters.
PitStop Pro enables you to edit all image formats and colour spaces supported by the PDF format. PitStop Pro can even edit images that cannot be easily edited in any other way, such as those that include spot colour, duotone, tritone and other Device-N colour spaces. Image adjustments can be applied to single images, multiple images, or all images within a PDF file. The new image editing options are also available as Actions in PitStop Pro, so they can be added to Preflight Profiles or Action Lists to automate repetitive image corrections for your own production requirements.

PitStop Server
PitStop Server is PDF preflight automation.
PitStop Server takes the power of PitStop Professional to an automated level; using convenient watched folder architecture and allows you to automate inspection and correction of PDF files.
PitStop Server brings powerful quality control and automation features to your PDF production process by:
- Monitoring multiple file submission points, such as FTP servers, emails and network hot folders
- Intelligently routing your files for PDF preflight and correction
- Fully automating delivery and archival of production files
PitStop Server automates onboarding, preflight and PDF file repair while providing access to functionality that broadens your approach to workflow automation.
PitStop Server automates optimising and increasing the quality of PDF files for different purposes like printing, web, trouble-free viewing on iPad or even long-term archiving. PitStop Server offers significant opportunities to automate your production processes as it brings editing and correction to the next level without requiring user interaction. Embed fonts, convert or remap colours, renumber pages, set correct page boxes, apply stamps, insert cover pages, move, rotate, and scale objects these are just a few of the possibilities. Built-in transparency flattening options allow you to ensure consistent results when outputting to different devices.
An extensive preflight engine enables you to check for potential problems e.g. font problems, low image resolution, colour issues, etc. Ink coverage problems can be detected while taking transparency, overprint settings, overlapping items and layers into account.
PitStop Server can automatically generate a full preflight report that lists all problems found in your files. You can specify XML or annotated PDF reports as well as the same user-friendly preflight reports created in PitStop Pro. Preflight and corrections can also be driven by job specific information such as JDF or XML job tickets. Fast and correct linking of the PDF with a customers job specific requirements makes your service quicker and more accurate. Enfocus gives your company the competitive edge to work smarter and win more business.
Integrate PitStop Server in your workflow: PitStop Server fits seamlessly into Enfocus Switch to provide preflighting and auto-correction of PDF files in a more fully automated workflow.

Enfocus Switch
Automate your PDF Workflow with Enfocus Switch modular workflow solution.
Switch is a modular software solution that integrates with existing systems and drives third party applications to speed up job processing, reduce errors, and automate repetitive tasks. Automating tasks with Switch frees up your staff’s time so they can focus on new revenue-generating activities.
Switch eliminates the need for people to perform repetitive tasks associated with receiving and sorting files. It automatically downloads files from one or more FTP servers, receives them as email attachments, or handles hot folders. It then sorts files into different folders or transmits them to the appropriate destination in a flexible manner, so that each is ready for further processing or archiving.
Enfocus Switch 12 ImageAll of this functionality is driven by an easy-to-use interface that depicts your workflow using visual elements to represent locations and processes. You can create flows by answering a few questions using the flow wizard, import ready-to-use flows from the Crossroads community website or build your own flows interactively with the wide range of communication and file handling tools available in Switch.
Using optional modules, Switch enables automation and integration of popular third party applications used in the creative, prepress and production industries as well as MIS, DAM, Web-to-Print and database systems. Switch is a robust and reliable solution—even in demanding environments—and scalability and intelligence can be enhanced with optional scripting, database and metadata modules.
Bottom line: The new modular approach expands the reach of Switch automation through the entire publishing and digital content creation process.

Recent client feedback..
Very personable and knowledgeable instructor, went at a pace that suited every candidate. It was good to be able to take the course via Zoom which worked really well and the trainer was able to help anyone that was struggling despite not being in the same room. An excellent overall experience.
Adobe Photoshop Two Day Introduction
I really enjoyed the course, it was perfectly pitched at the level we needed, Alan was great and even though we were on Zoom all day it didn't drag and I learnt lots. I've met my objectives of being able to use the system to create engaging eLearning content for learners. As a non-technical person, this is a huge achievement!
