A movement of print production professionals who don’t want to adapt to all-in-one, vendor-specific workflow solutions. Because they believe that technology should follow their process, and not the other way around.

What’s New
Convert fill to stroke
A typical pain point in cutting is when the cut lines are converted into a shape and are no longer usable as cut lines in production. PitStop’s new, patent-pending, “Fill to Stroke” feature solves this challenge, by reverting the incorrectly converted shape to its original cut path.
Simplify path
PDF renderers, RIP engines and cutting devices often struggle with line art objects that consist of a large number of nodes. Thanks to the new ‘Simplify line art’ Action in PitStop 24.03 you can reduce the number of nodes without changing the visual appearance of the path.
Bookmark improvements
Bookmarks are convenient for browsing through a file along many other usages. Thanks to PitStop 24.03, you can now use bookmarks’ locations to target pages and run additional processes on the selected pages. You can also add your own bookmarks and remove existing bookmarks when needed.
MacOS Sonoma compatible
From this version onwards, PitStop fully supports Mac OS 14 (Sonoma).
FastLane
FastLane is a command-line tool in PitStop Server that scans a PDF file to supply basic file information – such as page count, fonts, document properties and many more – when it first enters the workflow. This makes onboarding new projects more intuitive and – most importantly for today’s print industry – much quicker, as it can instantly detect whether further prepress attention is necessary.
JSON Reports
PitStop 2023 brings with it JSON reports, making preflight reports faster faster to process than XML reports. It also enables easy integration of preflight reports into automated workflows to streamline the validation process even further.
