Re: Inspector Palatte

The Inspector shows the colors and colorspace that the object uses.
It doesn't make sense to show anything else does it?

If you want a different color space you just need to convert or map the object to it!
You can do that under the 'Actions' option on the right, and many other ways as well.

Re: Pitstop Action like Acrobat "Import as layer"

You'll need an Action List to do this. I'm not sure if you mean PitStop Pro or PitStop Server, but if you want to automate this in Switch you will need PitStop Server. The Action will look something like. > Overlay PDF (to import the new PDF into the existing one) > Select last added objects (to sel...

Re: Job Spec Sheet attached to PDF Review Mail Send

You could always make the Spec sheet page one of the approval PDF. That would be relatively easy using insert pages, you could then take it off after approval by using an Action List to delete page one of the PDF. Obviously you would need some logic to only delete page one on files that had a spec s...

Re: Step and Repeat Action

I know of people who have made step and repeat functionality with the Add Copied Graphic Action. This now enables you to link to a PDF, rather than embedding it. There are several options to generate multiple copies across and down a page. That particular functionality was created for generating Gro...

Re: PitStop fix for Acrobat

No you misunderstand. The update is called 21.0.3.
It is an update to version 21. So if you have a license for PitStop 21 you are good.
Just do the update and off you go!

Re: Re-order Pages for Repeat Imposition

Reorder pages should just put them in the order you define.
Should look like this, and you see the resulting page order below

Re: Preflight Error - Number of pages not equal 0

You need to start by looking at your preflight profile. This is a check in your profile (see below), but zero is a weird number to have, it's definitely not the default. If this was working correctly before, my best guess is that you get the value for this check from a variable, and that is broken i...

Re: print only spot colors

I feel your pain, back in the day we used to do wet proofs and 'progressives' to show the different separations to customers. It's a little harder digitally! Must be a nightmare to produce? This is a situation where an online PDF proof would be much easier, the customer could turn the separations on...

Re: print only spot colors

It's possible, but firstly understand that layers in Acrobat are not like layers in Illustrator. They have a different purpose, and you don't 'move' objects to a layer, you assign them to a layer. Also understand the limitations, an object with a defined spot color will be put on a layer, but if tha...

Re: Duplicating pages

If you want to do it in a PitStop Action you have to add blank pages and then copy and paste the content to the new pages.
You can find videos showing this on the Enfocus e-learning platform

Re: resizing media and crop box

PitStop Pro is manual, so it's a file at a time.
PitStop Server is the automated version.

Re: Thin parts

There's nothing like this in PitStop that finds thin parts of an object.
You can check for thin lines and fills, but nothing like this.

Re: resizing media and crop box

You don't really need the Art and Crop Box, so I would get rid of them unless you have a reason for keeping them.
This (attached) Action List resizes the Media Box as described and removes the Art and Crop.
If you want to remove that Misc information as well, that's doable.
