... I’m wondering how others have solved it... Well, we do that right in Adobe Acrobat using a small JavaScript code. for (var i = this.numPages - 1; i > 0; i--) { this.insertPages(i - 1, this.path, this.numPages - 1, this.numPages - 1); } this.deletePages(this.numPages - 1); I don't have Switch, a...

Hi Loïc,

No, the modification date is the date the action list was created. However, this does not change when the action list is executed.

Hi all, I noticed that the Action Lists window can now be displayed in multiple columns, and the Action Lists can be sorted by the column header, such as by date, name or author. What I don’t like about this is that the entries in the “Recent” section are now also sorted this way. It was always very...

I think the OP was originally looking for a solution using Switch. After more than 11 years, there might even be one now. @Olivia_Casper Why would anyone upload confidential PDF documents to some third-party cloud or online apps just to encrypt them? That seems very questionable to me. If you have P...

Ahh, I was wondering why my action list sometimes doesn't work.
That's an important tip.
Thank you very much, Loïc

We already had something like this here in this post:

Maybe that can help.

Hi, it often happens that certain special German characters such as umlauts (ä, ö, ü) in the names of spot colors are displayed with a hyphen in PitStop Inspector. Such spot color names cannot be renamed to a different spot color name using the ‘Remap spot color’ action. Nothing happens, without an ...

As an alternative to a PitStop action list, you could do this directly with Acrobat's own Action Wizard tool and a custom Acrobat action. The screenshot shows how.

Hi Loïc,

'Split in subpaths' alone works fine. I hadn't tried that because I thought I had to select them beforehand with the ‘select subpaths’ action.
Then ‘Split in subpaths’ does not work.

Thank you very much, that's done for me.

Kind regards

Hi, when I export a PDF with cut marks from Indesign, the cut marks are defined as part of a path group (subpath). This is what the object browser shows. You can also see all the additional cut marks highlighted in yellow, although only one cut mark is selected. What action can I use to select these...

Hmm, the PDFs only contain simple image data. No alpha fill, no mask and no native transparency.
How is PitStop Pro supposed to find this if the PDF does not even contain the properties to be searched for?

Hi JavierLFPC,
I cannot find your PDF files. Only JPG files are shown. Perhaps you could make the PDF files available for download (from a file hoster)?

Hi Loïc,

I've learned something new with your action list, thank you.
I think it's also easier. And you can pick or grab the spot colors directly in the action.

Hi,

for your PDF you could try the action list as shown in the screenshot.

...I was really hoping for a pitstop solution...

Hi,
I have a action list for PitStop Pro with which bitmap images can be inverted.
Maybe it will help.
