EskoArtwork releases Neo 2.0

EskoArtwork has launched Neo 2.0, its native PDF 1.7 editor which offers full-scale PDF editing and full access to all Enfocus PitStop functionality. This standalone PDF viewer and editor allows users to correct both text and object content in multipage PDF files for fast, efficient, last-minute file updates and corrections.

‘As commercial printers continue to face the increasing challenges associated with a competitive marketplace and demand for faster production cycles, EskoArtwork is dedicated to making tools available that improve productivity for these businesses,’ said Frank Vyncke, director PDF production software product group. ‘Neo 2.0 enables users to perform last-minute corrections quickly and safely allowing them to ready-to-print the PDF files upon receipt.’

Neo 2.0 integrates Enfocus PitStop Professional with the two applications sharing the same database of preflight profiles and action lists. ‘This means that Action Lists can be created and modified within Neo 2.0 as easily, and with the same functionality as in Enfocus PitStop Professional,’ added Vyncke. ‘We are also aggressively working to leverage synergies between EskoArtwork and Enfocus products to create even better alignment in production workflow. Neo 2.0 is a great example of the culmination of these efforts.’

Neo 2.0 delivers standalone PDF editing, including the ability to edit virtually anything within the PDF document, including fonts, traps and page boxes. This native PDF editing capability eliminates the need to revert to the original document for changes and corrections, saving time and streamlining the pre-press process. Customers report that they have been able to reduce the average time to perform quality control on a large, complex file by 20 percent or more using Neo.
