Oh and something else: there is normally just one "active" selection. You can think of this like a stack of plates. When you need a new plate you pick the top one, no matter how many are on the stack. So if you have "Select all + Select images + Change color" then the "Chang...

This question touches on some technical details of how PitStop works. Specifically it is important to know that "Select all" selects all objects. So what is an object? Basically anything you can think of in a PDF. That includes text, images, line art, and shadings of course. But it also in...

Hi wgmeeker, You can remove those extra stops by dragging them down; I would not recommend this however. Those extra stops are being added in order to maintain the visual appearance of the gradient. In your example the original gradient has two colours defined: the green at the beginning and pinkish...

Sadly this is not currently possible. Perhaps using keyboard shortcuts can help alleviate your pain though: in the hot folder view use ctrl+s (windows) or cmd+s (mac) to export, and arrow keys to move to the next hot folder.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do exactly, but I think you can use some of these actions: * Select (or Remove) invisible objects without fill or stroke. This will check for line art or text that have both fill and stroke off and hence won't print anything. * Select objects that are ...

That sounds like a job for Switch. PitStop itself does not have a way to process a document or not, depending on its content.

In Switch you can use PitStop Server to log the presence of an object and then route the object differently depending on that result.

The only way I currently see to do this would be in two steps, using Switch automation to connect the dots. First log all the pages with a green box and create an xml report. Read that report to get the page numbers of those pages, add 1, and use the result in a variable set to select the pages you ...

The "UTC" part indeed does not change the format of the date, it only refers to the time zone. Depending on where you are in the world this can be a difference of several hours, making the date different in the hours around midnight. There is currently no way to force the format of the dat...

Hi Steve-O, try using Ctrl/Cmd + arrow keys. Ctrl + Shift + arrow keys for larger steps.

There is no explicit if...else in Action Lists, but implicitly the selection does that for you. Select images Select by ink coverage AND Apply DeviceLink This will apply the DeviceLink only on the selected objects - and the only selected objects are images with ink coverage over 300%. The AND select...

Hmm I don't think that's going to be possible with a single Action List. You'll probably have to make a second Action List, this time with two "Select spot color" actions (combine them with an OR operator), and two different variables. Then if you run that one you'll get two dropdowns.

It looks like you're using the action "Select spot color by name"? If so, you can enable variables in that action. First create a variable set with the spot colour names / languages you want. If you're in PitStop Pro that is in the Preferences pane - Variable Sets. In PitStop Server it's W...

Create a new rectangle or select any line art in a PDF. Use the inspector to change its fill or stroke colour to white. Then click the swatch you want to remove so it is selected, and click the "Store Swatch" button.

If you're working interactively in PitStop Pro you can go to the page you want to process and in the processing panel before you click the big Run button change the dropdown from "Complete document" to "Current page". With that dropdown you can even run Action Lists on only the o...

If the drill holes are objects on the PDF page you can select them and then select overlapping objects, perhaps combined with a select text. If anything is selected you know there's an issue.

Or you could do the same with select in region if you know where the holes are going to be.
