New Features:
Content extraction
Add pages with extracted content is a new Action for easily separating print content from technical elements such as foil, varnish, or cut paths, and placing them on a dedicated page. This improves efficiency for tasks that involve embellishment or cutting.
Separations
The Add separation pages to document Action enables users to generate color separations from a PDF and insert them into the document. It's particularly useful for processes like screen printing or die engraving where separations are essential.
Resource Syncing
Resource Syncing allows PitStop Pro subscription users to synchronize their preferred Preflight Profiles and Action Lists with Enfocus Cloud. This ensures that teams across separate locations always work with up-to-date versions of Preflight Profiles, Action Lists, Variable Sets, and Colors, promoting consistency and simplifying disaster recovery.
Change Object Browser Display Order
The Object Browser panel now includes an option to change the display order of objects, allowing users to view them from top-most visible to lowest visible, or vice versa. This makes it easier to select and manipulate specific objects within a PDF.
A typical pain point in cutting is when the cut lines are converted into a shape and are no longer usable as cut lines in production. PitStop’s new, patent-pending, “Fill to Stroke” feature solves this challenge, by reverting the incorrectly converted shape to its original cut path.
Simplify path
PDF renderers, RIP engines and cutting devices often struggle with line art objects that consist of a large number of nodes. Thanks to the new ‘Simplify line art’ Action in PitStop 24.03 you can reduce the number of nodes without changing the visual appearance of the path.
Bookmark improvements
Bookmarks are convenient for browsing through a file along many other usages. Thanks to PitStop 24.03, you can now use bookmarks’ locations to target pages and run additional processes on the selected pages. You can also add your own bookmarks and remove existing bookmarks when needed.
MacOS Sonoma compatible
From this version onwards, PitStop fully supports Mac OS 14 (Sonoma).
