Re: Color Managment with ICC Tagged Gray
I believe the "image mask" thing is leading you astray. The colour of an image mask is only used to determine transparency, it is not the colour of the actual object. You typically don't want image masks to be tagged with ICC profiles, but that's a different matter. To see the real colour ...

Re: Pitstop Library error code 8008
That error generally means the input file is corrupt. For example if a page box is not an array of 4 numbers, that's a wrong object type error.
Sometimes resaving the file in Acrobat fixes the problem.

Re: Lab colors in pitstop server
Is there a way to change Pitstop server to use 0-255 in its RGB values instead of 0-100%? I see that preference in Pitstop but not Pitstop server. I don't think so, but you can create the Action List or Preflight Profile in PitStop Pro, and then use it in PitStop Server. PitStop will handle the con...

Re: A color conversion defect has been identified in Enfocus PitStop 25.
There's something in the page content stream that sets the "current transformation matrix" to "0 0 0 0 A B" (A and B don't matter, they're translations). If you want to check for yourself you can use Enfocus Browser or Acrobat's "Browse Internal PDF Structure" - but you...

Re: Switch 2021 Fall and Mac OS 15 (arm)
Switch 21 was released 3 years before Sequoia. Given how much Apple loves breaking core functionality, I strongly recommend you update Switch to a newer version if you update macOS.

Re: Is 83% RGB Color Gamut Enough for Design Work?
Before investing in any hardware, I strongly recommend first making sure you use a colour-managed preview. Assuming you're printing in CMYK, even an incorrect proof setup will give you a better idea than looking at the RGB of your screen. In Adobe's Creative Suite applications, the preview can be to...

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...
