PitStop Extreme PDF editor
Enfocus has introduces the latest addition to its PitStop line of PDF editing tools, PitStop Extreme. The program is a standalone editor that is intended to allow files to be quickly checked and corrected. The interface provides a view of the document claimed to exactly match the printed version. Controls allow for unlimited zoom to view the file details such as separations, transparencies, overprints, and total area coverage. Any objects can be moved, scaled, or rotated at each level.
Text editing capabilities allow the document to be restructured from within the native file, including changes to characters, words, text lines, and paragraphs. Once editing is completed, the edits are saved to the file without modification of any non-printing objects such as metadata. A preflighting engine has been integrated, which allows the program to catch certain errors before printing.
The software is compliant with PDF/X and Ghent PDF Workgroup standards. A license for PitStop Professional is included, enabling users to work both from within Adobe Acrobat or with the standalone Extreme program. PitStop Extreme for Mac OS X or Windows will be priced at $3500, or as a crossgrade version for $2800. More information will be available from the company near the end of October.
