Setting up the Monotype Baseline platform

Before you can use the Monotype Baseline platform, you have to set it up.

To set up the Monotype Baseline platform

  1. Go to http://baseline.monotype.com/Home/SignUp.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to create an account, generate an authentication key and buy tokens.
    Note:
    • You can use the same account on multiple installations of PitStop Pro.
    • One token = License to embed one "subset" of the missing font in the PDF document that is being processed. The font will not become available on your local system and cannot be used by other applications.

      Example: If your PDF document contains three missing fonts and PitStop Pro finds one on your local system, you need two tokens to retrieve the other two from the Monotype Baseline platform.

    • You must buy tokens upfront before PitStop Pro can retrieve missing fonts from the Monotype Baseline platform.
    • When signing up, you receive 10 tokens for free.
  3. In PitStop Pro, in the Enfocus PitStop Pro Preferences dialog, click Fonts.
  4. In the Security Token field, enter the authentication key.
  5. Select or clear the Automatically check Monotype Baseline™ platform for missing fonts checkbox as required.
    This checkbox only applies to automatic checks for missing fonts, i.e. as part of an Action List, Preflight Profile or Global Change. It has no influence on embedding fonts manually (using the Fix Missing Fonts option)!
    • Select this checkbox, if you want to have the possibility to buy Monotype fonts.
    • Clear this checkbox, if you only want to embed missing system fonts.
