Re: A color conversion defect has been identified in Enfocus PitStop 25.

I have used the object browser of Pitstop Pro to look into the file. In file 222 above the image, there is a clipping path. And it seems to "hide" the image when it is converted to CMYK. I can not seem to tell why. Normally I would say it is something with overprint or transparency. But I ...

Re: A color conversion defect has been identified in Enfocus PitStop 25.

Now I see the same behavior.
How is file 222 processed after 111. Because it has a lot of paths instead of just an image.

Re: Stamping XML contents onto PDF

I do not know if it covers your use case.
But I have made a post about using variables all the way from creating them in Pitstop Pro to using data from Switch in the variables.

Re: Extract data from pdf from Esko ArtPro+

I have been told the file has been opened in ArtPro.
Made some changes.
Set the Printing Method and then saved.

But maybe I should just get back to the customer and ask him to confirm it.

Thanks for looking at the file.

Re: Finding halfway point from the page count and adding marks

You can use this expression: [Switch.Calculation:Expression="round([Stats.NumberOfPages]/2)"] It takes the number of pages. Divides it in half and round to 0 decimals. In this flow I have set the expression as a private data and then use that to add suffix to the files. You could also just...

Re: kiosk flag

I am not at a company where we make beach flags, so I need a pdf of how you want the 2-sided pdf to look after the action list has run.
So the work you do in InDesign manually today.

Re: kiosk flag

And is this input or output?
An example of both would make it easier to see what should be achieved.

Re: add border to every image

The only way I can think of is to utilize the Create varnish. So the process is to select images. Create varnish and then manipulate the add varnish objects to have a border. See screenshot below. You can download the action here: https://github.com/jimmyhartington/pitstop-actionlists/blob/main/Enfo...
