About the edit log file
The Certified PDF mechanism in PitStop Prokeeps a record of every editing session of a Certified
PDF document. Thus, all the changes made to the PDF document are logged chronologically in
the PDF document. The changes can be logged in two different ways, depending on the tool they
were made with:
• If you edit your PDF document with any of the Enfocus Certified PDF -compliant plug-ins, such
as EnfocusPitStop Pro or Enfocus Instant PDF, the changes are immediately saved in the edit
log file. The edit log file will contain a detailed entry for each of the changes.
• If you edit your PDF document with non-compliant third-party PDF editing tools, PitStop Prowill
intercept and log them. However, the edit log file will contain no details on the changes nor on
the product with which the changes were made.
To view the Edit Log File
Choose Certified PDF > Show Edit Log .
The edit log report appears. The edit log is a PDF file showing all changes per session.
