Enfocus‘s PitStop Pro is a low-profile but super powerful PDF file errors automatic detecting & correcting add-on program for Adobe Acrobat. It’s also famous as one of the 3 PDF editing plugins (pdfToolbox, Quite Imposing and PitStop Pro) that almost every prepress designer must have.

PitStop Pro is mainly designed for automatic prechecking, editing and fixing PDF files, as well as other relevant repetitive automation tasks. For example, check and edit before printing PDF documents; detect all the possible problems systematically and thoroughly; and automatically fix the problems in a few seconds. Throughout this progress, you don’t have to leave the Adobe Acrobat environment you are familiar with.

We do believe that designers who often use Acrobat to edit the PDF must be familiar with this plugin. But to a large extent, PitStop Pro’s biggest purpose is to remove the most objects in a PDF file in batch that Acrobat can do nothing, such as header, footer, and other repetitive content! All in all, with help of PitStop Pro, PDF repairing & editing work become easier now!

// Main Functions //

• Check your PDF files, confirm whether there are print errors
• Automatically repair the most common errors in a PDF file
• Allow you to manually edit almost all the content in PDF directly in Adobe Acrobat

// Edition Statement //
