Enfocus PitStop Pro 5. Working with Certified PDF documents 5.1 PDF workflow concept Certified PDF is a PDF workflow concept developed by Enfocus Software based on customer requests and feedback from industry experts. The Certified PDF concept has been designed to address three fundamental issues faced by the majority of users implementing a PDF workflow: • • • How to guarantee that a PDF document was successfully preflighted with a specific Preflight Profile.
Enfocus PitStop Pro In the Certified PDF workflow, all the modifications done in a PDF document are logged per session and saved in an edit log file. Also, the edited PDF documents can be saved incrementally. This means that the changes done in version 3, for example, can be saved “on top of” the changes done in version 2 but you keep one physical PDF file.
Enfocus PitStop Pro 5.3 What is an Enfocus Certified PDF document? Acrobat metadata Any regular PDF document contains metadata, i.e. information about the document itself.
