Re: Color conversion

Hi Renaud, It's very hard to be sure without checking the actual files: a lot of things influence colour management. Most likely is that dkelly is correct: some very light tint is converted to gray during the colour conversion. There are other possibilities - e.g. different overprint rules coming in...

Re: Myriad Pro Italic Corruption

dkelly is correct, and you can probably avoid this problem in the future by using the check with the impossibly long name "Check if font contains all glyphs and metrics for all characters used". You may need to use an Action List for this - I didn't immediately find it in the Preflight Pro...

Re: Adding JobState as suffix stopped working

Does the incoming job have strange characters in its filename?
Do I understand correctly that this is the standard rename (as in: not a script you wrote yourself)? If so, you should contact enfocus support so they can fix the script.

Re: Compatibility issue between Pitstop 12.3 and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

Hi Stephen,

PitStop Pro 12.3 should work with Acrobat DC. Please try reinstalling PitStop to see if that fixes the problem. If not, I'm sure Enfocus support can help you get to the bottom of this.

Re: Removal of CMYK plates from pdf

When you say the PDF includes "4 empty cmyk inks", do you mean Acrobat's output preview shows Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black in the list of Separations? If so, you can probably ignore that - Acrobat *always* shows those, even if there is no CMYK in the PDF. If you mean the PDF contains De...

Re: Pitstop multi page Copy & Paste

You can create an Action List with "Add copied graphics". First you need to grab the object(s) you want to copy, then run the Action List on the complete document.

Re: duplicate layers

First a small caveat: layers in PDF are nothing like layers in Photoshop. (In fact, layers don't exist in PDF. It's very unfortunate that Acrobat (and many other applications, including PitStop) talk about "layers" when they should be talking about "Optional Content". But let's n...

Re: ICC RGB image to ICC CMYK image

If I understand correctly, you'll want something like this: Select images Select by tagged ICC profile AND Tag with ICC profile The last action will only change the ICC profile (with correct colour conversion of course) but not the colour space - for example it won't change RGB to CMYK. If you want ...

Re: Date in UTC?

I would suggest you reconsider the need for using UTC. There is no reliable way to know the last modification date of a file when working with different time zones and/or different file systems. At best you'll get correct results only when working on a single system, at worst you'll get completely u...

Re: file is not a valid pdf file

var theFileName = job.getNameProper() //... job.sendToSingle( inputJob, theFileName ); The function getNameProper() returns the filename without extension (and without unique ID). So, if your incoming file is "file.pdf", then theFileName will be "file". The second parameter in j...

Re: Check for color

There are probably several ways to do this, but the most flexible will be with an Action List. The checks for RGB and Lab can be done with a simple "Check color type". The check for CMY is a bit more complex - but don't worry it's not that hard to understand. We're going to use a combinati...

Re: Need the last 5 character of the file name

If you have the scripting module you can use a simple script expression:

Code: Select all

job.getNameProper().right(5);
If you don't have the scripting module you can do it with variables, but only if the name is always the same length:
[Job.NameProper:Segment="6,10"]

Unfortunately you cannot test Adobe scripts in SwitchScripter. You'll have to create a simple flow in Switch and test it there.

Re: Run length calculation

There should be quotes around the xslt paths, theRunLength should be declared outside of the if, and the job has to be sent to the outgoing connection(s). If you don't tell Switch that the job should be sent along the flow, it will stay in the input folder forever. function jobArrived( s : Switch, j...
