Ya know...if you keep releasing things like this customers are going to think there is nothing we can't fix! :rotf:

Aggggghhhh, where's that link for the "free" version to install? Setting up at home, want to move all my Actions Etc. over.

I assume you are talking about the free temp license to work from home during COVID-19? I think you have to use the link in the email you got as it seems it is a personalized link.

Hmmmm, thought it was posted publicly, maybe on Linkedin. I'll remote to work email & poke around. Thanks!

Seems this version is easy to handle, I hope this new version will be compatible with the adobe acrobat 9 and other! 
Title: Re: PitStop 2020 coming in April!
Post by: abc on March 25, 2020, 12:24:08 AM
No it isn't I'm afraid. We had to drop support for Acrobat XI in this version as well.
Adobe stopped support for that version in October 2017, so we've done well to hold on this long.
But unfortunately no more.

Andrew, would that link have come directly from Enfocus or are the Resellers handling this special keys? I looked in my work Inbox earlier, didn't see anything but maybe I missed it. Gracias!

I stuck it on LinkedIn, should have done it on here as well.

With the coronavirus (COVID-19) continuing to escalate around the world, we have been thinking about what we can do as a part of the print industry to help our customers in this uncertain period. Of course, we have limited impact on this pandemia, but we want to help in any way that we can.

Since one of the main recommendations from the World Health Organisation is to promote working from home, we therefore decided that we will provide free temporary PitStop Pro licenses to support remote working and additionally will make all of our e-learnings available for free.

More info on the link.

Incidentally, if anybody is going to do this, this is where your action lists, preflight settings and global changes live. Just in case you want to replicate your office installation at home.

Move your preferences and custom Preflight Profiles, Action Lists, Global Changes, ... to the new computer This can be done easily by copying the following folders to the new system:

Windows -
C:\ProgramData\Enfocus Prefs Folder (if available) -
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Enfocus Prefs Folder

Mac -
HD: Library: Preferences: Enfocus Prefs Folder (if available) -
HD: Users: <Your user>: Library: Preferences: Enfocus Prefs Folder

Will the update work on the single-use licenses that were distributed for Working from Home versions? And follow-up: Are there any plans to extend those versions as there's no end in sight to this funfest?

p.s. Excellent webinar the other day! I know you were rushed, but you really packed in most of the new features well & even snuck in that crazy image recognition business. Kudos!!

Post by: abc on April 25, 2020, 05:51:46 AM
Good point, I actually have a feeling they might be 2020 licenses already.
We started shipping them when the grace period started in March.
If you look in the about panel it should tell you the license version.

Post by: Slappy on April 25, 2020, 05:11:07 PM
Nah, just 2019 Update 1.
Title: Re: PitStop 2020 coming in April!
Post by: abc on April 27, 2020, 08:25:17 AM
They are going to extend the 'at home' licenses.
should be an email tomorrow about it.

Already loving being able to save swatches but...

Feature request: Be able to name them? Or even better, make Libraries that could be loaded per client! Oooooooh, aaaaaaah!
Title: Re: PitStop 2020 coming in April!
Post by: abc on May 05, 2020, 03:18:16 AM
We did think that would be the next request.

How do you see it, save a Swatch with a name, and then an 'open' button?

So essentially add a save and open option.
Title: Re: PitStop 2020 coming in April!
Post by: Slappy on May 05, 2020, 07:26:55 PM
Maybe a dropdown like under the "Apply to all Pages" options when setting page boxes for "Save Swatch Library" or "Load Swatch Library" possibly?

Even a color designation on hover would be great, I saved a really dark PMS blue for a client and honestly couldn't tell it from black on screen when selecting it from that swatch panel.

If you hover over a tooltip should give you the color breakdown, but you might have to be a bit patient.

Missed the webinar today, was it about pitstop 2020?
Title: Re: PitStop 2020 coming in April!
Post by: abc on May 06, 2020, 02:01:17 PM
Yep. I got a bit carried away though.
I hoped to cover a bit more than I did. I'm going to send out the recording tomorrow to all who registered.
Apparently the software doesn't do it for us as it's an ongoing session.

If anyone on here attended I hope it was interesting?

I think I saw a couple of familiar names.   ;D

It was a good webinar. I was trying to watch and listen while working but I heard a lot more than I could see as somehow were are very busy during this COVID-19 thing.

I emailed you about one of the new Actions, project that just came in I'm hoping to get working in Switch and if it does, it'll be a doozy!!
(I may need some help though.)
