Re: More of a Color Management Question

Hi
The csf file sets the Color Management but doesn't do the conversion.
Have you set the coversion action?
In the action you can select only gray images and convert to you're black only profile.

Re: Action

A few ways to do it.
There's a default action in PitStop
Check for Rich Black (K 85%, TAC 280%) turn to K
You could add a selection for text only etc.

Re: Adding multi-line text to PDF with VariableSets

I've done this line by line.
Bit fiddly but once done it worked.
It might help someone here.
Add object and set offset.
Add object change offset up/down or across

Re: Pantone mapping

You'll need to select spot by suffix and remap to the desired Pantone library.
Repeat for each suffix needed

It shouldn't pick up non spot contour.
If you can post your action and test file it makes it easily to understand what isn't working for you.
