Re: Connect 13.1 Ships with PitStop 13 support!
I don't think the annotated report contains ink usage information. Can you configure the project to use a regular report (I don't know if that's possible in Connect YOU)?

Re: Switch from 64 to the 32 bit version
The same license is used for both 32 and 64 bit versions. I'm not sure whether you can simply install one over the other - it might be better to uninstall the 64 bit version then install the 32 bit. But you should not need to reactivate or recreate any hotfolders or settings (although it's always a ...

Re: Expanding a Stroke with Pitstop
Ah ok. Adobe's transparency flattener (which is included in Acrobat and PitStop Server) does this, but unfortunately only for pages which have transparency. You could do something like this (but make sure to carefully check your files afterwards to make sure nothing went wrong): 1. Add an object som...

Re: Expanding a Stroke with Pitstop
Do you mean you want the fill to become the same colour as the stroke? This can be done with an Action List:
1. Select the objects you want to change
2. Optional: if the objects don't have fill yet, use "Change fill and/or stroke" to turn it on
3. Match fill and stroke colours

Re: Detecting white overprint
Also, if you really want automation, you may want to look into PitStop Server. I don't know if 800 ads per month is enough to justify the cost, but I'm sure your reseller or the Enfocus sales team would be happy to help with a ROI calculation

Re: Detecting white overprint
Hi Andreas,
This can be checked with a Preflight Profile: create a new profile or edit an existing one, and in the "Text" and "Line Art" categories add the checks for "White text" resp. "White line art".

Re: Filter on weekday
I'm fully aware of the different ways of counting week numbers, but since there is an ISO-standard I see no reasons not to stick to that. Good to hear; imo too many people cling to their regional traditions instead of adopting a common standard. var theNow = new Date(); // or a test date var theYea...

Re: Filter on weekday
Week numbers are more complicated than you would think. For example, if January 1st is a Friday (as in 2016), then everything up until January 3rd is actually the last week of the previous year. The first week of that year doesn't start until January 4th (the first Monday). But if January 1st is a T...

Re: variable text into PDF
If you have PitStop, you can use the action "Add object". Select the variable "%Current Document Name% and either position it relative to the bleed box with a negative offset, or relative to a larger box (e.g. the media box) with a nonnegative offset.

Re: Switch variables in Pythonscript
I haven't used python, but a quick search on the interwebs suggests this: #!/usr/local/bin/python import csv import sys inputfile = sys.argv[1] outputfile = sys.argv[2] ... sys.argv is a list (array) of the command-line arguments to the script. sys.argv[0] is the script name, so sys.argv[1] is the f...

Re: Switch scripting .sscript inflating pre-commit hook
A little-known fact is that Switch Scripter can actually work with unpacked sscript files. When you unzip an sscript, you get a folder with, among others, another sscript (of 0 bytes) inside it. If you open this second sscript in Switch Scripter you can edit the script as normal, and when you save i...

Re: Switch Calculation/ Pitstop Variable Set
Do you have the Switch scripting module? If so, this becomes quite easy: the variable to be used in PitStop would be of type "Script expression", and the code something like this (untested): var value1 = job.getVariableAsNumber( "[Switch.Calculation:Expression=\"[Job.Hierarchy:In...

Re: Creating new job via script
Hi, The problem is you're not creating a file on disk. First you create a new job: newJob = s.createNewJob(fileName); This creates a job object in Switch, but that job is not associated to any specific file or folder. The parameter to the createNewJob function is the job's origin - it's basically ju...

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...
