Re: Invisible data on page
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do exactly, but I think you can use some of these actions: * Select (or Remove) invisible objects without fill or stroke. This will check for line art or text that have both fill and stroke off and hence won't print anything. * Select objects that are ...

Re: if....else
That sounds like a job for Switch. PitStop itself does not have a way to process a document or not, depending on its content.
In Switch you can use PitStop Server to log the presence of an object and then route the object differently depending on that result.

Re: Select NEXT Page
The only way I currently see to do this would be in two steps, using Switch automation to connect the dots. First log all the pages with a green box and create an xml report. Read that report to get the page numbers of those pages, add 1, and use the result in a variable set to select the pages you ...

Re: UTC date & date
The "UTC" part indeed does not change the format of the date, it only refers to the time zone. Depending on where you are in the world this can be a difference of several hours, making the date different in the hours around midnight. There is currently no way to force the format of the dat...

Hi Steve-O, try using Ctrl/Cmd + arrow keys. Ctrl + Shift + arrow keys for larger steps.

Re: if....else
There is no explicit if...else in Action Lists, but implicitly the selection does that for you. Select images Select by ink coverage AND Apply DeviceLink This will apply the DeviceLink only on the selected objects - and the only selected objects are images with ink coverage over 300%. The AND select...

Re: Choose from Dropdown during running Action possible?
Hmm I don't think that's going to be possible with a single Action List. You'll probably have to make a second Action List, this time with two "Select spot color" actions (combine them with an OR operator), and two different variables. Then if you run that one you'll get two dropdowns.

Re: Choose from Dropdown during running Action possible?
It looks like you're using the action "Select spot color by name"? If so, you can enable variables in that action. First create a variable set with the spot colour names / languages you want. If you're in PitStop Pro that is in the Preferences pane - Variable Sets. In PitStop Server it's W...

Re: Stored Color Swatches Inspector
Create a new rectangle or select any line art in a PDF. Use the inspector to change its fill or stroke colour to white. Then click the swatch you want to remove so it is selected, and click the "Store Swatch" button.

Re: select specific pages and remove
If you're working interactively in PitStop Pro you can go to the page you want to process and in the processing panel before you click the big Run button change the dropdown from "Complete document" to "Current page". With that dropdown you can even run Action Lists on only the o...

Re: drill hole dieline safety margin
If the drill holes are objects on the PDF page you can select them and then select overlapping objects, perhaps combined with a select text. If anything is selected you know there's an issue.
Or you could do the same with select in region if you know where the holes are going to be.

Re: Separate spot colors from process
PDF layers support "visibility expressions". With this you can put objects in multiple layers, and only show them if both layers are on, or show them when either layer is on, or show them when one layer is on but the other is off, etc. These visibility expressions can be quite complex and ...

Re: In Pitstop pro profile working fine but in Pitstop server same profile there is color variation in graphics
In your screenshot of the Preflight Profile editor colour management is not set. That means the application-specific colour management settings will be used. This is not really clear in the UI unfortunately. In PitStop Server colour management is set in two places: 1. The Preferences: menu bar - Win...

Re: Metadata Logging Data from Pitstop Report Log
Version 3 XML reports should have an element "ColorType" with all the information you need. Version 1 and 2 reports probably have the same information in there somewhere, but it'll be much harder to find. I strongly recommend using v3 reports.

Re: Page Scaling Factor
Sometimes when PitStop Pro changes things in the document, Acrobat doesn't refresh correctly. Sometimes that's Acrobat being stupid, sometimes it's PitStop not telling Acrobat to update.
Glad you found it .
