Preflight only required content in PDF files using Enfocus PDF Geomapper technology

January 24, 2018 by Natacha De Kegel Leave a Comment

Many times, your PDF Preflighting results show objects that are not visible. The invisible objects will not even show up when printing the file. What if you had the option to ignore that type of objects during preflight and preflight only the necessary content of your PDF file?

With Enfocus PitStop Pro and PitStop Server 2017, you can setup your profiles to preflight and distinguish objects that are needed to render or print a file and ignore those that are not. It is called the PDF Geomapper technology from Enfocus.
Enfocus PitStop Pro and PitStop Server both include the industry-standard Enfocus preflight engine, which checks all aspects of your PDF files like detecting missing fonts, reporting incorrect colors and objects without bleed, to name a few examples.

With Action Lists you can solve specific issues by remapping colors, embedding fonts, adding page numbers and more. PitStop Pro and PitStop Server are both Mac and Windows compatible.

Not familiar with SwitchClient?

Enfocus Switch Web Portal is available when you have Enfocus Switch Core Engine and SwitchClient Module. It is a tool that you install and it allows you to, for example, submit and/or check jobs in your workflow. You create users with specific permissions and then they can see and/or submit jobs from their workstation.

Since Enfocus Switch 2017, you can decide to either use the Web Portal or the SwitchClient.

The main new feature of the Web Portal in Switch 2017 is the Job Client. You can now submit, route, lock and replace jobs from your browser. No need to install any client-side software.
