Re: Problem with Pitstop Installation on Windows Server 2016

You may have installed incompatible bit versions.
Windows Acrobat has 32 and 64 bit installers and you need to match PitStop bit versions
or you get errors.
I couldn't get the 64 bit Acrobat/PitStop to work well together so kept to 32bit for now.

Re: drill hole dieline safety margin

Hi Hank
It'll depend on how your file is constructed, ideally the drill marks are on a layer called drill**
You then make a new action
Select objects in Layer drill etc as per the grab
Log selection is set to error

Re: Need advice on pdf with bookmarks creation

Not sure but maybe PDFTK will do what you want.

Runs from CLI and Execute Command.

Re: Updating pitstop, installer can't find Adobe acrobat

There are 2 installers now for Windows PitStop Pro, 32 and 64 bit.
If Acrobat is 32bit and you try to install the PS 64 bit you get this error.
You need to check the bit version of Acrobat and PS to match.

Re: Save as Optimised PDF from Adobe Acrobat Professional configurator

Hi Lasse
about 98% certain you can't.
You can combine PitStop cleanup and GhostScript.
GhostScript clears all overhead etc.

Re: Pitstop Preflight - Dynamic resolution check for different page sizes

Hi
You should be able to do it in an action
Roughly as below, not tested but I've done similar.
1st page size is larger than, 2nd smaller than.

Hi
Something odd going on there!
Your settings are fine and here they work.
Can you post the converted file please?
If possible try on another computer.
