Enfocus Ready for Adobe Acrobat 5.0 with Certify PDF & PitStop Product Lines

Press release from the issuing company

March 19, 2001 - Gent, Belgium and San Mateo, California - All current and new Enfocus Software customers are equipped to certify, correct, edit and preflight PDF documents created or modified with new Adobe Acrobat 5.0 using the newest versions of all Enfocus applications, the company announced today. Enfocus products are available at www.enfocus.com and will be shown at next month's Seybold Boston conference and exhibition. Enfocus Software publishes the best-selling tools for powerful, rapid and accurate flow of PDF documents in graphic arts, internet, and ePaper markets. Enfocus tools run on any mainstream Windows or Mac OS desktop computer. "Acrobat 5.0 is worthy of the advance praise it's been receiving," says Enfocus CEO Peter Camps. "We've worked with the technology over many months and it is clear that Adobe has never wavered in its ability to provide solid, practical and forward-looking applications for its customers across many markets." Updated versions of all Enfocus products are available for free to existing customers. They can download their update(s) via www.enfocus.com. Enfocus Certified Workflow and Enfocus Certify PDF Unique Enfocus Certified Workflow technology provides unprecedented quality control of PDF files, especially in multi-company workflows. In a Certified Workflow the preflight profile and the preflight report are embedded into the PDF files; with files preflighted systematically at each save. The preflight status of the document is immediately shown to users when the files are opened. Certified Workflow also provides a detailed track of the editing history of the documents, and allows users to not only compare different processing, or work, sessions; but also permits "roll-back" to previous sessions. The new Certify PDF plug-in to Adobe Acrobat, released in January, is the core of Enfocus' Certified Workflow technology. It can be used both as a separate tool (mainly by Document Creators) and in conjunction with PitStop Professional and PowerUp, for users editing PDF files on a regular basis. Enfocus PitStop Server is the solution of choice for those companies wishing to implement inter-company Certified Workflows on a larger scale. The product allows for automated start-up of the Certified Workflow and control of incoming Certified PDF files.
