About PitStop Automate
PitStop Automate is a task-based production automation tool that allows design studios, ad agencies, printers and publishers to increase productivity and output consistency by introducing automation at an affordable price. An intuitive graphical user interface makes it straightforward to design complete automation workflows.
PitStop Automate’s advanced routing capabilities enable it to intelligently guide files through the entire production process, avoiding the need for human intervention.
PitStop Automate closely integrates with AcrobatR DistillerR and includes Enfocus’ renowned PDF editing, preflight, and autocorrection, as well as automation functionality. A natural upgrade from Enfocus PitStop Server, PitStop Automate takes production automation to the next level.
Crucial to a fully automated production process, PitStop Automate incorporates Certified PDFR, Enfocus’ award-winning technology that creates quality control in file exchange. Enfocus Certified PDFR makes PDF a more powerful production format by embedding the PDF profile originally used to preflight the file. A detailed preflight report and an audit trail of all edits made to the PDF are also created.
Enfocus’ PitStop Automate SDK enables developers to plug-in their own solution(s) to this new automation platform.
