PitStop is set to see its performance further boosted after developer Enfocus announced the release of its 2023 update for the platform.
The new update, that will be rolled out early May, will turbocharge PDF validation with the addition of FastLane, a command-line tool in PitStop Server that scans a PDF file to supply basic file information – such as page count, fonts, document properties and many more – when it first enters the workflow. This makes onboarding new projects more intuitive and much quicker, as it can instantly detect whether further prepress attention is necessary.
Alongside a whole host of bug fixes and optimizations, PitStop 2023 also brings with it JSON reports, making preflight reports faster to process and easier for humans to interpret. It also enables easy integration of preflight reports into automated workflows to streamline the validation process even further.
New users can experience the benefits of the new update when it goes live early May by signing up for a 30-day free trial.
