The PDF Review Module 2 upgrade addresses many customer requests for features. First and foremost is the ability to proof multiple PDF files as a single multi-part job. There are also key new features in the way proofs are viewed. Reader spread view is added, as well as the ability to rotate the proof to check rotated content. Displaying of the PitStop Server preflight report is possible. The report is layered over the proof to clearly indicate which elements have issues. Support has been added for representing multiple brands in the proofing interface. Switch users can set a preference to keep a copy of approved files for a defined period.
