Pitstop server is not converting text to outline

Post by mjtenhoonte »

Pitstop server action list "Convert all text to outlines" is not converting text to outline.
If I check the reason why it is not converting the fonts into outline it tells me in Pitstop Pro that it doesn't have the rights( machtiging ) to do so.
Esko Automation Engine has no problem converting these fonts. Is there a way around this?

When editing a hotfolder on the Fonts section there's a checkbox for "Skip font license checks", if you enable that PitStop Server will skip the license checks and allow you to convert fonts to outlines regardless of the licensing:

There's the same option in the PitStop Pro preferences for this as well

Thanks for the swift answer. I am using it in a switch workflow.I will look in to the hot folder option.

In Switch there's two flow element properties on PitStop Server flow elements to control this functionality "Skip font license checks" and a dependant flow element property "I comply with the font license restrictions":
