Can I pass this Illustrator dialog?

Hi,

I'm trying to write JavaScript for Illustrator to open PDF and save it as AI.
But, my script doesn't work because the following message appears when Switch opens the PDF by the Illustrator.

"This file has been modified outside illustrator."

Can I pass this dialog using the JavaScript open options or something?

Regards,

This problem happens only when I process PDF exported by PitStop.
I think the cause of this is that PitStop doesn't (can't) discard the piece information of the original application used to create the PDF.

But I found that Acrobat preflight can discard the piece information (private data) by the Fixup.
So, for the time being, I do the Fixup by Acrobat configurator with JavaScript.

Thanks,

Hi saitok

I am curious on how you run the fixup with JavaScript in Acrobat?

I have never gotten that to work.

Pitstop has an action called "Remove all Pieceinfo". Dosen't that solve the problem?

As for my question, then I am more interested in how you run a preflight using Acrobat.
It still has some things, which Pitstop does not seem to have.

Hi Terkelsen,

I noticed this week that we can avoid the dialog with the Action you said.

Thank you!

Hi JimmyHartington,

Sorry for delay.
I used this with the Acrobat Configurator of Switch.
