· Confidently Convert Colors Using Additional Color Engines - Nobody likes unpleasant surprises. In printing, a lot of these surprises are caused by color conversion problems. A consistent color management strategy is your only defense. PitStop Professional 7.5 offers you the choice between several industry standard color engines so you can use the same conversion engine throughout your workflow. You can choose to use the Adobe Color Management or the embedded, open-source Little CMS. Both color engines ensure color consistent conversions across both Windows and Mac OS platforms. Of course, the default CMS on your operating system remains available as well.
· Benefit from PDF/X-4 Compliancy - More and more pre-press vendors include the PDF Engine from Adobe into their RIP's. Amongst other benefits, these RIP's now support tranparancy, various blend modes and layers in PDF files. In anticipation of this phenomenon, ISO has defined a new PDF/X standard: PDF/X-4.
· It will probably take some time before all players in the industry have adopted this new standard, Nevertheless, Enfocus' PDF Profiles and Actions Lists in PitStop Professional 7.5 have already been updated to support the new PDF/X-4 standard, providing you with all the tools required to deal with those cutting-edge PDF files.
· Work with Different Font Types - Switching between font types in PDF files has never been this easy. PitStop Professional 7.5 provides better and more reliable font operations on all font types. Support for font remapping and for composite fonts in particular has been further improved.
· PitStop Professional 7.5 also allows you to check whether all required glyphs and metrics for the characters used in a PDF file are available. This can be done via an independent Action List, or through the use of the all in one PDF/X compliance check.
· Easy PDF Profile Adoption - Adopting existing PDF Profiles to your needs has never been easier. You can now create a new PDF Profile based on any existing PDF Profile, rather than being restricted to the existing templates. Creating your tailor-made PDF Profile has become as simple as selecting your favorite Profile and making those one or two required changes.
· Keep Control of Your Viewing Preferences - You can configure PitStop Professional 7.5 to show the View and File Settings dialog box whenever you're opening a file and one of the requirements in the View and File Settings is not honored. Thereby providing you with a clear warning when you're leaving your pre-defined working environment.
· Through View and File Settings you check whether features that influence the way you see the document such as color management and overprint preview are configured correctly. Use this same feature to check file specifics such as file size and naming convention. These View and File Settings can be saved and distributed to ensure operators at different workstations are viewing their jobs under the same conditions.
· Text Display in Wireframe Mode - In PitStop Professional 7.5, you can choose how wireframe text is displayed: greeked, outlined or black.
