Status Check quickly lets printers know if a PDF is certified. A Certified PDF Preflight lets printers know that a publisher has performed, and the file has passed a specific PitStop Preflight Profile. Taking advantage of Status Check and Certified PDF will go a long way toward relaying file integrity to vendors. They will gain confidence in the files that they distribute. Publishers will see greatly reduced costs for rework and prepress charges. Standard functions are easily customized to turn a lengthy, in-house file prep checklist into a couple of clicks. Preflight Profiles perform checks and validations while applying fixes. Action Lists perform conversions, corrections, and global changes. This makes it much easier for a publisher’s production team to dive right in and start saving time. PitStop Pro comes out of the box with plenty of Action Lists and Preflight Profiles to get any prepress user started. Users rely on it, wouldn’t want to work without it, and won’t accept a substitute. PitStop Pro is a prepress must-have if you want to get PDF editing and validation done correctly. Publishers should consider investing in some prepress tools, namely PitStop. I’m pretty sure that they know this, but I’ll throw it out there, just in case. Similar savings will be seen by checking files intended for digital markets. There will be less “Mac time” or prepress costs tacked onto their print jobs. The savings will likely materialize in far fewer files being returned for rework in order to print correctly. They can save time by validating files before sending them off to print. Publishers can greatly improve their time-to-market by supplying quality, job-ready files to their vendors.
The production requirements are a tad different between making plates for print and digital content for e-publishing. Publishers, on the other hand, have the added variable of dealing with file preparation for both print and digital outlets. Print production folks also preflight and prepare files for an array of output devices. Prepress teams in every print shop will get files from a variety of customers who have wide-ranging file preparation skills.
