Further Automation
As explained in “Definition and Purpose of an
Action List” on page 52, you can use Action Lists to
automate repetitious tasks. You can integrate these
Action Lists into your PDF Queue so that all the PDF
documents which are created through this PDF
Queue are automatically corrected.
But, if you have a large number of existing PDF
documents to which you want to apply the same
Action List(s), you may feel the need for further
automation. Indeed, you would repeatedly have to:
• Open each individual PDF document
• Execute one or more Action Lists
• Close and save the PDF document
Consequently, the task of running Action Lists in
itself may become repetitious and may thus be eli-
gible for automation.
Enfocus PitStop Server offers further automation of
PDF processing tasks. It is a stand-alone application
which you can use to create so-called Hot Folders.
In these Hot Folders, you can include one or more
Action Lists and a Preflight Profile. The Preflight
Profile and Action List(s) will be executed automati-
cally as soon as PDF documents arrive in an input
folder which you have selected.
Enfocus LightSwitch, Enfocus FullSwitch and Enfocus
PowerSwitch offer even further automation. All the
functionality is driven by a visual flow editor and
supported by the robust automation tools that are
at the core of all Switch products.
More information about Enfocus PitStop Server and
the Enfocus Switch products is available on our Web
site at www.enfocus.com.
