Re: Printer Spread to Single Pages

You need to adjust the trim and bleed boxes after the split to take the spine into account.
That's probably the easiest way.

Then you can remove any content completely outside the Trim Box to get rid of any excess content

Re: convert raster image to pantone color

Nope, did you try changing 'Multiply' to 'Darken"?

Re: convert raster image to pantone color

If you are playing with Blend Modes, try 'Darken"
I'm assuming that will let the magenta through, and hoping the black will knock out!

Re: convert raster image to pantone color

So to clarify, you want to trace an image, fill it with color, and also add a background?
Sounds straightforward. Do you have a test file at all?

Selecting them and hitting delete would be a nice improvement! :-)

Re: Stored Color Swatches Inspector

Actually I don't think there is actually a delete or remove as such.
The idea would be you just replace them with a new one, which of course could be white which is really the same thing.

Can you explain why you need it, I can then write it up as a feature request.

Re: select specific pages and remove

Only if you have a select action for the pages in the Action List.
Bear in mind that can be variable, so you can enter new values each time you run the Action List

Re: Preflight Error

This is the Trim Box which represents the finished trimmed size of the job. If it's incorrect you need to change the Trim Box, but you may additionally need to adjust other related page boxes like the bleed box and crop box. Also you may have to adjust the page content if the page is too big or smal...

Re: Join Paths in Pitstop

The paths you want to close have to be selected, then you can try 'Close Paths' or 'Close Gaps in Contours'. I've seen issues where the paths have a mask or are a compound path. You need to get rid of the mask and release the compound path first in order for it to work. Also only the paths that need...

Re: Pitstop Server - does it have a limit of how many pages it can process?

I can see you already logged it and they have responded.
This only limits the report. The whole file would have been processed.

There should not be any limit unless one is specified.

Re: import actions

ok 1) Yes, sort of. :-) If you have the Action List editor open with the Action you are working on. You can drag and drop a complete Action List from the List of Action Lists, into the Action List you are making. Once you have the whole Action List in the panel, you can then edit the Actions within ...

Re: converting custom spot colors vs transparency

It's difficult for me to diagnose issues with older versions, but I can honestly say I've not heard of this before. I've tried remapping and it retains transparency. It's certainly not a problem in the 2021 version. Are you using Action lists to do the conversions, or global changes? Can you give so...

Re: Site selection based on its content

So what you need for the selection is something that differentiates those pages without the contour, to the ones that have a contour. The first place I would start is the contour itself, and use the 'Select page if content is selected' Action. So something like: Select Line Art Select Spot Color (ad...
