Re: Spot Col to CMYK Conversion
If your colour management settings are correct (be sure to check the profiles in Acrobat's preferences), the result should be mostly the same. I say mostly, because Acrobat sometimes has its own ideas about spot colour rendering. I suggest you double check that you're using all the same ICC profiles...

Re: Check Visual Content Query
Unfortunately you will need PitStop Pro inside Acrobat to grab the content objects. The good news is that once you've done that, you can save the Action List and then use it inside Esko applications without further need for Acrobat or PitStop Pro.

Re: Resize pages to SRA3 - 460x320
When you say "media", do you mean the media box (as opposed to resizing actual page content)?
There is an action "Change media box", that should be what you need.
Note that per the PDF specification, the other page boxes can never go outside the media box.

Re: Remove Selection not working in Action List
I would still like to remove the Clipping Object. I know that it is being selected with my actions, however, it refuses removal. Your Action List looks like this: 1. Select objects without fill and stroke 2. Select clipping objects 3. Log selection 4. AND 5. Remove selection Step 3 will log the cur...

Re: Customised Report Message
If the height is correct, but the width isn't, you'll get the width message, and vice versa. If both are incorrect, you'll get the long message. You can set all three to the same custom message, but unfortunately you're probably limited to using the variables from the one message that is picked at r...

Re: Best way to auto-preflight PDFs with PitStop Pro before sending to RIP?
PitStop Pro does not do automation; you will need PitStop Server. You don't need Switch really, but note that PitStop Server comes with a basic Switch license so you lose nothing by trying it out. In PitStop Server you create "hot folders". These are folders on disk that are monitored by P...

Re: Adjust just magenta in flattened file
I'm glad you got it fixed - note however that the Enfocus "generic" profiles are, well, generic ;-) If possible, you should use a CMYK profile that matches your output device. But those can be hard to get and keep up to date, so you could also consider one of the industry standards like SW...

Re: Technician mode???
Do you or your company use "cyberfox"? According to their knowledge base, "technician mode" is a feature activated by pressing ctrl-alt-a, the default shortcut for the action list window. From their site: On a machine that has the AutoElevate Agent installed, Technician Mode (or ...

Re: Technician mode???
This is not a PitStop thing. Maybe it's Acrobat? Or even something else on your system?

Re: What is the difference between arguments and parameters?
That is correct. Different programming and scripting languages sometimes interpret or define these terms differently, but your explanation is the most commonly used one - when the difference matters. async function add( x, y ) { return x + y } add( 3, 7 ) x and y are parameters, 3 and 7 are arguments.

Re: Select page in action list, then execute action(s)
This is an interesting case. The select action, for technical reasons, does need to _process_ all pages. And that can take time. Even if the objects are later deselected (e.g. with the AND operator), the initial selection still needs to happen. There is no way around that. Typically select actions a...

Re: JPEG image dimensions
Yeah physical resolution is an optional tag in JPEG (and in many other image formats), so indeed not all files have it.

Re: Handling "All" Spot Color in a RIP That Misinterprets It as CMYK
How about copying the objects using All, then pasting, and finally remapping to the separation you want? Unfortunately you can't do this in a loop with just PitStop, but using Switch that should be possible. Select spot color All Copy objects to clipboard All Select all Paste objects from clipboard ...

Re: How to make TrueType fonts compatible with the PDF/X-4 standard?
I don't think there's a way to do that with PitStop. It would require quite detailed font editing, which is more the domain of font editing programs. I think your best bet is to unembed if necessary, then re-embed a correct version of the font.

Re: Variables Standards
I don't think this is currently available in PitStop Pro. There are some actions (in the Action List editor) that have a list of page boxes, so if you're lucky the action you need has that. If not, you'll either have to use something external to PitStop Pro to get the values, or you may even be out ...
