Tools pane: overview (Acrobat DC)

About the Tools pane in Adobe Acrobat DC

In Acrobat DC, the Enfocus PitStop panels are not shown by default in the Tools pane; you have to add them manually before you can use the PitStop Pro tools. However, once they are available, you can use them in the same way as in previous Acrobat versions.

Refer to Adding PitStop Pro panels to the Tools pane in Acrobat DC.

The image below shows where you can find the PitStop Pro panels. The tools included in a particular panel are shown next to the name of the panel. In the example below, the PitStop Process panel is selected, and the "Preflight Profiles" and "Global Changes" option are available. Clicking

gives access to the other tools belonging to this panel.

Note: The list below the selected PitStop panel only displays the panels you have already added manually as described higher.

Tip: You can hide the labels (next to the icons), by right-clicking in the toolbar and selecting the (selected) Show All Labels option.
