Enfocus introduces Switch 09 Update 2, an upgrade of its popular Switch automation software suite. This release includes a new tool for routing Enfocus Certified PDF files depending on their preflight status. The Switch Update also adds compatibility with the newest features in PitStop Server 10, which was released in October.
PitStop Server 10 users can now create Switch workflows not only to preflight files, but also to automate transparency flattening—with or without preflighting. Switch 09 Update 2 also adds four completely new configurators (for solutions from Dynagram, Elpical, ColorLogic, and Axaio) and updates existing configurators.
Configurators directly control and automate third party applications that integrate with FullSwitch and PowerSwitch. Enfocus has a growing network of partnerships with leading software vendors, and has regularly added new configurators since Switch was introduced in 2006. Enfocus also established the Enfocus Crossroads community of partners, users and integrators, who cooperate to enhance and extend the use of Switch and its configurators.
"In light of our 'Enfocus, You First' campaign, we are closely following up on the needs of our users," explains Elli Cloots, director of product management at Enfocus. "For that reason we have introduced four new configurators in this new Switch update. These new configurators are responding to the needs of our customers. A wide range of configurators also reinforces our Crossroads strategy, where we aim to offer a lot of diverse solutions to automate processes."
Enfocus also adds a tool that can route Enfocus Certified PDF files according to preflight state (error, success, warning, and sign-off). This is available for all Switch users—even in LightSwitch—without the need to install third party software. Certified PDF files coming from Enfocus PitStop Pro, PitStop Server, and Instant PDF can be sorted automatically, but Switch users will get the most out of this tool when processing files coming from Enfocus PitStop Connect, an application launched earlier in 2010.
Switch 09 Update 2 is available now. Existing users of LightSwitch 09, FullSwitch 09, and PowerSwitch 09 can upgrade by downloading a free update from the Enfocus website. Users of earlier versions should contact their local dealers for upgrade offers.
A fully functional but time-limited trial version can be downloaded from the Enfocus website www.enfocus.com, where trial versions of all other Enfocus products are also available.
