Re: Colour separation

Using PitStop you could create two Action List: one which selects all the text and removes it, and another which selects all the CMYK objects and removes them. If you run both of these on the input file, you should have what you want. If you do this in PitStop Server and combine it with a Switch flo...

Re: El Capiton Upgrade Changed my Pitstop Pro

Hi Sandy, I think you should mail Enfocus support, they'll be happy to help you get to the bottom of this. Make sure you have a supported combination of OS X, Acrobat and PitStop Pro versions.

Re: Collect Assets Based on XML

Yes with scripting you can parse xml as you wish. You can for example use the Node.evalToNodes() call to get a list of matching nodes, and then walk through them with a for loop.

Re: remove css from html files

JavaScript code written for web pages can usually not be reused verbatim in Switch because the environment is very different. One is meant to be executed in the context of a browser, the other in a workflow automation tool. It's not unlike trying to use an igloo in the Sahara. The code you posted re...

Re: Automating PitStop Server

You could use the PitStop Server CLI (Command Line Interface), which is installed alongside PitStop Server (PitStopServerCLI.exe on Windows, PitStopServerCLI on Mac). You can run the CLI by starting it in another application or script. Telling it what to do is done either with command line arguments...

Re: Adding data to a dataset via srcipt

Dataset::getPath returns the path to the dataset backing file on disk, not an XPath in an XML dataset. To change an existing dataset, you go through a few steps: 1. obtain the dataset, e.g. var databaseDataset = job.getDataset("MPXMLdirect"); 2. check the dataset type, e.g. if ( databaseDa...

Re: How to de-install Pitstop Pro

Hi Hans, On Windows this is quite easy: just run the installer or use the Control Panel. Mac is a very strange OS which has no real concept of uninstall, so you will have to do it manually. And even more: Apple in all its wisdom often decides to change new versions of Mac OS so that old uninstall sc...

Re: Is PitStop able to read a JDF exported from Heidelberg Signastation?

Hi, PitStop Pro is not the right tool for this - it's an interactive PDF editing tool. What you want is an automation tool that can handle JDF - which sounds like a good fit for Enfocus Switch. Have a look at the product page at https://www.enfocus.com/en/products/switch , and in particular the JDF ...

Re: PitStop and Acrobat instability

There have been problems with the combination of FusionPro and PitStop Pro. If possible, I would suggest having those plugins in different installations of Acrobat. Failing that, the only thing I can suggest is to make sure you have the latest version of both plugins, and if the problem persist cont...

Re: Action List - Computer Restart

You can work around this by right-clicking the PitStop Server element in the elements pane, and selecting "Search for application". This will effectively do the same as restarting Switch (but only for that one element).

Re: PDF size in acrobat

Hi, Did you try the standard action list "Generate Bleed to 3mm if none, and correctly set all Page Boxes"? This should set the page boxes correctly, and could be a good starting point for your own fix. If I remember correctly, Acrobat uses the crop box for the page size, but as per the PD...

Re: Page Scaling Factor

Unfortunately there is no automated way to set the page scaling; perhaps you could ask Enfocus to add it as a feature request. It can be set manually with a low-level PDF editor tool such as Enfocus Browser, but this can be quite a bit of work. All checks should automatically take the page scaling i...

Re: Preferences folder location

The location of the "Local" folder is always user-specific and cannot be changed, but you can add your own folders: gear icon -> new -> new database, and select a folder that is accessible by all users. This additional database should then be visible for all users in the PitStop Server UI.

Re: hierarchy path

That's an interesting use of a switch statement. Any reason you don't use an if/else? var pageNumber = job.getVariableAsNumber("[Job.Name:Segment=\"1-3\"]"); var hierarchyPath = "Unknown"; if (pageNumber >= 100 && pageNumber <= 118) hierarchyPath = "CAT16_C...
