October 23, 2018 by Natacha De Kegel Leave a Comment

Are you looking for a solution that can add page numbers to PDF documents? Perhaps you’d like to automate this as part of a regular workflow? Or maybe you need to remove page numbers before adding new ones that are sequenced and formatted differently? For example, how about a use case where you need to start page numbering with “1” but on page 3 of the PDF?

Enfocus PitStop Pro makes it easy to add page numbers!

Preflighting PDF Files According To Their Production Requirements

September 17, 2018 by Natacha De Kegel Leave a Comment

Do you deal with PDF files that have variable production requirements?  Are you currently using a lot of different Enfocus Preflight Profiles to cover all the different job requirements?

 Enfocus Smart Preflight technology can simplify your preflight process!

What is Enfocus Smart Preflight?

Historically a Preflight Profile or Action List could only contain fixed checks and corrections e.g. the resolution of an image must be higher than 300 dpi or the number of separations must be 4.

However, every job is different and comes with its specific production requirements. This means handling many changing requirements like diverse page formats, differing numbers of separations, etc.

With Smart Preflight, instead of creating lots of different Action Lists and/or Preflight Profiles, you create variable sets which cover your variable requirements to use inside your Action Lists and Preflight Profiles— hence you can smart preflight your files.
