These products are publishing-workflow-automation solutions that run on both Macintosh computers and Windows computers. They are easy to install and use, yet they are versatile and powerful. Some of the products are geared for PDF-based document production and are sometimes referred to as "PDF-workflow-automation software."

These products allow you to automate repetitive tasks that you are now doing manually — retrieving files from an FTP site; retrieving files sent as e-mail attachments; sorting files based on file type, filename, page dimensions, other criteria; doing preflight tasks; doing page imposition; sending e-mail notifications when particular events occur; more.

LightSWITCH         
888-260-7316    info@CitationSoftware.com         

prepress workflow automation software PDF workflow automation software LightSWITCH is a state-of-the-art publishing-workflow-automation solution that comes at a very affordable price. Easy to install and use, LightSWITCH handles repetitive tasks such as receiving and sorting files, renaming and routing files, and sending e-mail notifications.

The LightSWITCH Flow Wizard and drag-and-drop Visual Flow Editor make it easy to set up LightSWITCH for your particular workflow.

Available for both Macintosh and Windows computers, LightSwitch can receive files via FTP, via e-mail, and via hot folders. Using various user-specified criteria, LightSWITCH can then sort the files into different folders so they are ready for processing — or, if desired, LightSWITCH can deliver the files to the next step in the workflow via e-mail or via FTP. And, LightSWITCH can send e-mail notifications to your employees or customers when certain events occur.

Variables referring to different properties of a job and its embedded metadata can be used to customize how jobs are sorted and how tools act on them. For example, this makes it possible to sort a job based on an embedded XMP field or to customize the subject of an e-mail message so the name of the job is added exactly where needed.

PitStop Server         
888-260-7316    info@CitationSoftware.com         

publishing workflow automation software PitStop Server is an automated preflighting and correction tool for high-volume PDF workflows. Using PDF Profiles and Action Lists, PitStop Server instantly analyzes, corrects, reports on and routes files based on the most stringent of requirements, including the PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, and Ghent PDF Workgroup industry standards.

Available for both Macintosh and Windows computers, the PitStop Server software is fully compatible with the latest preflight profiles (PDF Profiles) from PitStop Professional.

PitStop Server keeps high volumes of PDF files moving through your workflow by testing each file against rigorous preflight conditions. PitStop Server can check for all critical issues that might affect PDF output and can automatically correct the majority of common errors encountered in your PDF files. Once processed, files are routed instantly according to Pass/Warning/Fail criteria. PitStop Server keeps you informed through detailed document reports and XML-based reporting, and it can also automatically send e-mails to keep you updated on the status of your files.

The outcome: files move through your workflow quickly, and you rarely need to intervene manually.

Hot folders

Hot folders make it easy to integrate PitStop Server into your workflow.

Command-line interface.

For tighter integration, you can use PitStop Server's command-line interface instead of relying on hot folders.

Adobe Acrobat not needed

Unlike PitStop Professional, PitStop Server does not rely on the Adobe Acrobat software.
Hot folders. Attach a PDF Profile to a hot folder and you're ready to go. PitStop Server comes with many commonly-used PDF Profiles right out of the box, so you don't lose time searching them out on the internet or creating them yourself. And, so your workflow can match industry standards, PitStop Server enables PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, and Ghent PDF Workgroup compliance — again, right out of the box.

Command-line interface. For tighter integration, use PitStop Server's command-line interface instead of relying on hot folders. An easy mode allows instant integration of the preflight and auto-correction capabilities with standard settings, while the advanced mode allows full customization using an XML-driven integration.

Custom PDF Profiles. Need more control over the exact checks PitStop Server performs on your PDF files? The built-in PDF Profile Editor allows comprehensive customization of checks and corrections. And once you've got a tried-and-tested PDF Profile, you can export it and share it with other users.

Action Lists. If you need to modify PDF files with PitStop Server, add Action Lists to your workflow. These powerful and editable scripts easily automate such repetitive tasks as page renumbering, color or overprint modifications, object replacement, and page resizing, to name just a few. PitStop Server comes with a large collection of Action Lists that will get you started quickly.

Certified PDF® technology. Further streamline your workflow with Enfocus Certified PDF technology, which is fully integrated into PitStop Server. Enfocus Certified PDF files are immediately filtered so that PDFs without problems move through production faster than other PDF files. Certified PDF files can also be set to contain a detailed edit log. A unique rollback function allows you to return to any previously saved state of the file using PitStop Professional.

888-260-7316    info@CitationSoftware.com         

Formats for preflight reports. PitStop Server can generate the same kind of user-friendly reports that PitStop Professional creates; PitStop Server can also generate preflight reports in an XML format.

Embedded preflight reports. You can embed PitStop Server's preflight report in the original PDF file; this provides clear and straightforward information to all users associated with that PDF file.

Customizable preflight reports. You can customize the preflight reports PitStop Server produces. You can even brand the reports for your company.

Just click to go to a problem. Simply click a link in a preflight report to go to the exact location in the PDF file where the problem is.

Standards-based. PitStop Server is based on industry standards: PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, Ghent PDF Workgroup specifications.

Fast. PitStop Server 09 takes full advantage of multiple-processor or multiple-core systems.

Background processing. On the Mac, PitStop Server 09 can behave as a true background process.

Adobe Acrobat not required. You don't need to have Adobe Acrobat installed on the computer that's running PitStop Server.

Easy integration with FullSWITCH and PowerSWITCH. Automate your workflow even more by using PitStop Server within a workflow automated by FullSWITCH or PowerSWITCH.

Quite Hot Imposing         
888-260-7316    info@CitationSoftware.com         

Quite Hot Imposing is a stand-alone application (not a plug-in) that allows you to integrate automated page-imposition operations into a document-production workflow by using hot folders or by using a command-line interface. Built on the rock-solid foundations of the  Quite Imposing Plus  plug-in and the Adobe PDF Library, Quite Hot Imposing lets you integrate imposition functions into heavy-duty, demanding workflows.

Quite Hot Imposing was designed to be very intuitive and easy to use. You don't have to be a programmer to use Quite Hot Imposing!

(But if you ARE a programmer, you can achieve tighter integration and you can take advantage of Quite Hot Imposing's advanced features.)

Quite Hot Imposing does not rely on the Adobe Acrobat software — that is, Adobe Acrobat does not have to be installed on the computer that's running Quite Hot Imposing.
Setup is easy!

It's easy to set up Quite Hot Imposing.

Create the control file. First, use the  Quite Imposing Plus  software to create the imposition scheme you want. Quite Imposing Plus will generate a PDF file that contains inside it the information Quite Hot Imposing needs to do that same kind of imposition automatically.

Put the control file into a folder. Next, put the PDF file generated by Quite Imposing Plus (it's called a "Control File") into a folder on the computer that's running Quite Hot Imposing.

Define hot folders. Next, use Quite Hot Imposing to define a set of hot folders for that particular kind of imposition.

Ready to go! Now you're ready to start using Quite Hot Imposing to impose files automatically. Just put a PDF file into the appropriate hot folder, and Quite Hot Imposing will generate a new PDF file containing the imposed document.

(If you're a programmer, you can invoke Quite Hot Imposing directly, without using hot folders.)

Quite Hot Imposing is available for both Macintosh computers and Windows computers.

Windows system requirements:   Windows 2000 or Windows XP

Pricing is subject to change without notice.

Pricing shown might not be available to customers in particular geographic locations.

When will you receive your Quite Hot Imposing software?

Under normal circumstances, you'll receive the software and license numbers via the Internet within 1-2 business days.

If you're a programmer, you can invoke Quite Hot Imposing by using its command-line interface and (if you like) its XML-based API to achieve very tight integration and to take advantage of Quite Hot Imposing's advanced features. Here is a command-line string that invokes Quite Hot Imposing.
