Enfocus has released an update to its recently upgraded Switch 11 automation program. The latest update 1 includes full support for the new Smart Preflight & Correction functionality introduced in PitStop Server 11. This is said to give ‘a more dynamic and accurate way of applying preflight and auto-correction settings, driven by the power of Switch variables.’
Additional new and updated configurators in this release include a direct link to Esko’s Automation Engine, a new Microsoft Word configurator supporting the latest versions and updated HP configurators. Tere’s also a new version of the PitStop Server configurator, compatible with the newly announced PitStop Server 11. This enables Smart Preflight & Correction in PitStop Server 11 using any of the variables available in Switch, including SQL databases, XML and JDF job tickets, embedded XMP values, private data variables created with the scripting API, and all of Switch’s built-in variables.
‘PitStop 11 has introduced a new era in PDF preflight, and the combination of PitStop Server 11 and Switch 11 update 1 are making the possibilities endless. Each and every job can be checked to specific job requirements that can be sourced from the file itself, metadata values, job tickets or external data sources,’ msaid Dieter Wullaert, Enfocus Switch product manager. ‘For example, you can check if an incoming file matches the specifications for that job in your order system, or alternatively whether it corresponds to the information entered on your website by the customer when uploading the job. Using the new rule-based variables, it’s possible to translate those values into real preflight checks. This new functionality is huge and unique in workflow automation.’
