Re: Problem with Pitstop Server CMM
If you add "Overwrite Color Management Settings" to your action list, I'm pretty sure that will overwrite the settings in the configurator. I haven't tested thoug.

Re: Copy hyperlinks
I ended up solving this with a combination of PitStop Server and Switch. Copies of the spread are handled with two different action. One that set the page boxes to the left half and one that set them to the right half. Afterwards the left and the right pages are assembled and merged back to on singl...

Re: Copy hyperlinks
Hmm, I see, but that doesn't solve my current challenge.
I have a spread that contains hyperlinks on the right side of the spread. I need to split the spread in single pages, but when I do that the hyperlinks are still on the empty right side of page one.

Re: Copy hyperlinks
That's my experience as well. I'm just wondering what the "Select external hyperlink annotations" does if it doesn't select external hyperlink annotations

Copy hyperlinks
I'm trying to make an action, that will copy a hyperlink form one page and paste on to another page. Apparently the action "Select external hyperlink annotation" doesn't select anything? Does anyone have experience with this?

Import variables in Illustrator
I'm in need of a script to import a xml as variables in Illustrators variables panel.
I have the correct formatted XML and it works as expected when importing manually. I would like to automate this through Switch, which is why I'm looking for at script that can do this.
Anyone?

Re: Add data to the description metadata of a pdf
Jimmy, that was exactly what I pointed out in my earlier question. The XMP Update doesn't seem to accept variables although you are able to select variables!??

Re: Add data to the description metadata of a pdf
Freddy, an additional question to the Update XMP. If you update an XMP-field it will remove the existing info and replace it with the new info. I have tried to use the existing info in the XMP-field as a variable and then add a new information in order to keep the former information along with the n...

Re: Add data to the description metadata of a pdf
Hi Jimmy,
Have you tried to use the XMP Inject object and set "XMP location path" to "dc:description"?

Re: Variable Data - wrap text
That is a much needed feature! Until then a workaround could be to use variables. If you know, that there is room for maybe 20 characters pr. line, you could define character 1-20 of the sentence as one variable and character 21-40 as another variable and then place the second variable beneath the f...

Re: Save as PDF 1.3
PitStop has an action to change the PDF version. However, it can change the version to 1.3 BUT it doesn't flatten the transparency. When using PitStop via Switch there is an option in the PitStop Server properties to flatten transparency. The combination of these two facilities should do the trick.

Re: Random Spot Colors - Convert to CMYK
You just write exactly as Ben suggest
The regular expression to use is:
PANTONE.*
This will select any color which name starts with PANTONE

Re: Create interactive PDF with hyperlinks
Adding hyperlinks to a PDF is a standard functionality in Acrobat, but I'm not quite sure what you mean, when you say "a PDF with various webpages"? In order to automate any process the URLs will of course need to be available somewhere.

Re: Priority of using Illustrator flow element
You could use the Hold Job element to distribute files between the two flows. On the connection to folder B you can define a Folder Constraint and only allow files to go to this folder, when folder A i empty. You can then use the app Switch2Switch to send files from A and B to the different flows.
