Re: The game is something you need to grasp: The Baby in Yellow!

Let's first train an AI to detect these bots. I think you should have time this weekend, unless you'll be playing that wordle game? :P

Re: Remap (User Swatch) Fills & Strokes with ICC Profiles in PitStop Server

Very odd. I think this should work, but I must be missing something. Apparently the "Remap color" action thinks the colour in the PDF doesn't match the one in the Action List. This could be a rounding in the colour values, or a difference in the ICC profile. Rounding is less likely, so I'd...

Re: Remap (User Swatch) Fills & Strokes with ICC Profiles in PitStop Server

Does PitStop Server not have the same access as PitStop Pro to the actions? It should. I can't really think of a reason why it wouldn't work in PitStop Server - however, my first thought is always: is your colour management the same in Pro and Server? And are you testing it on the same file(s)? The...

Re: Execute Command

In the execute command app, what setting do you have for the "Output" property? According to the app documentation, this should be "Folder at path" if you want to output a new folder. However it also looks like you're making a single file inside that folder, so perhaps "File...

Re: Detecting text behind images

There is an action "Select overlapping objects". This works with bounding boxes, so it's not very precise, but for the example you posted I think it will work. "Select concealed objects" on the other hand is very precise, but I think that will only select objects if they are _com...

Re: Removing Indexed Color Space

PitStop has an action "Convert indexed color space to base color space". This will convert Indexed over CMYK to CMYK for example, which sounds like exactly what you want.

Re: invalid ICC profile

You may have an invalid ICC profile in your colour management settings. Try changing the colour management preset to one of the predefined ones. If you don't know what to pick, "Sync with Acrobat" is usually a safe choice.

Re: Text With Variables Disappear in Action List

This looks like a bug: that field appears to only accept _text_ variables, while it should accept _number_ variables. Please report this to Enfocus support.

As a workaround, you can change your variable to type "text" for now.

Re: Controlling how far an object is nudged in Pitstop

Nudging with the arrow keys is based on pixels, and therefore depends on your current zoom level. There is no setting to change the distance. You can however hold the shift key to nudge with bigger steps. But that doesn't really help you I fear. I think currently the closest to what you want is to u...

Re: Custom Reports - Spot Colors Only

The colour chapter contains the information gathered by the "Gather color information" chapter. Like all actions, this will work on selected objects only. When used in a Preflight Profile it will select everything, and hence you'll get all the colour information. But you can use it in an A...

Re: Smooth Shade Axial

There are indeed some ICCBased RGB shadings in that file, but they're well hidden. They're used inside Luminosity softmasks, which means the RGB values are first converted to grey, and then to a transparency value to be applied to other objects. In other words: the fact that they're RGB has no effec...

Re: Spot color picker

There should be a preset called "Color management switched off" which you can apply. Or, in the settings editor, disable the checkbox "Enable color management". Be sure to check the PitStop Pro settings, not Acrobat.
