A meeting designed for those who work with PDFs on a daily basis and want to optimize their workflows. During our meetup, we will explore a series of techniques and tools that will allow you to address the most common challenges related to managing and editing PDFs. We will discover together how to best configure Acrobat for precise viewing, essential to ensure that every detail is interpreted correctly. We will then discuss the differences between Acrobat and PitStop in managing PDF versions, showing how PitStop can prevent automatic changes that often cause problems in printing processes. One of the main topics will be editing text within PDFs. We will analyze the difficulties encountered with fonts not installed on the system and show how PitStop can exploit the resources within the file, ensuring professional results even in these situations. We will then move on to converting text into paths, a crucial function to avoid font licensing problems, explaining how Acrobat and PitStop address this step in different ways. There will also be a focus on color: we will learn how to correct CMYK black texts by transforming them into 100% black, as well as quickly change the colors of entire documents, from texts to vector objects. We will also address image replacement and correction, explaining how PitStop allows you to work directly on Acrobat without having to go through Photoshop, thus avoiding loss of color profiles or quality. Other topics will include the management of complex graphic elements, such as creating bleeds on dies, checking specific objects such as logos or brands, and producing detailed reports on inks or color and black and white pages. For those who work in finishing and screen printing, we will show how to separate technical content, such as laminations and varnishes, from the rest of the file to obtain impeccable results. This meetup is an unmissable opportunity for those who want to master advanced tools such as PitStop and discover new features useful for simplifying and improving daily work on PDFs.
