Connect YOU 2021
Today, designers are designing for a variety of mediums – computers, mobile devices, tablets and even for multiple browsers. What happens too often, is that the files that are sent to a media service provider don’t match the required output settings. The service provider then needs to correct the designers’ creations so that they will be suitable for print. This causes delays, frustration and annoyance for both parties.
The lack of quality in the PDFs sent to production is an issue for everyone involved in the production process. The printer spends too much time and too many resources fixing PDFs that lack quality. The designer, meanwhile, experiences delays in production and a lack of control over the final output.
Connect 2021 addresses the most common problems with PDF files at the source – on your workstation, where they can be easily fixed. By controlling the overall PDF creation process, and tying it to the correction and preflight capabilities of the built-in PitStop technology, typical issues such as missing fonts, low-resolution images and other common problems are easily addressed before the PDF files are received by your service provider for production.
Enfocus Connect creates easy-to-use applets called Connectors, that sit on your desktop and which have all the necessary settings contained within them. The multipurpose cross-platform Connectors, automatically perform a variety of tasks, including high-quality PDF creation from any application, verification, job ticketing, and automated file/job delivery via FTP, HTTP, e-mail or Enfocus Switch.
Each Connector contains all the settings and information needed for every function, including log-on credentials for file transfer. The Connector appears as a desktop icon for easy drag-and-drop access, and is also accessed via either an application’s Print menu, or a dedicated “Export as Certified PDF” menu option in Adobe InDesign and Illustrator.
Connect YOU creates Connectors that run on the computer on which the Connect YOU application is licensed and offers you unlimited control over the number and configuration of Connectors.
Connectors can allow you to perform:
• One-click perfect PDF creation through Adobe Creative Suite or the print option of any other application, using Adobe Normalizer technology built into the Connector.
• Automatic PDF correction and enhancement based on Enfocus PitStop Action Lists.
• PDF verification using Enfocus PitStop Preflight Profiles.
• Custom job ticket generation to help automate downstream processes.
• Secure, completely automatic delivery of PDF or any other file type to (S)FTP, HTTP, email, or directly into an Enfocus Switch automated flow.
For PDF correction and verification, Connect uses Enfocus PitStop technology, which provides superior quality control for all PDFs processed by Connect.
It’s as simple as:
- Downloading the Connector.

Exporting, printing or dragging-and-dropping files onto the
Connector. -
