What's new in PitStop Server

Image input

Released in PitStop 24.11 on November 5th, 2024

See release notes

PitStop Server CLI and the PitStop Server configurator can now process PNG and JPEG files directly, without the need for conversion to PDF. This streamlines the workflow for customers who frequently handle these image formats.

Convert fill to stroke

Released in PitStop 24.03 on March 25, 2024

See release notes

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

Released in PitStop 24.03 on March 25, 2024

See release notes

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.

FastLane
Released in PitStop 2023 on April 6, 2023

See release notes

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.
