operator NOT to select pages

Post by baldifabrizio »

Hi, I have pdf of a book of which I need change in CMYK a selection of non-consecutive pages and The other pages I need to convert in gray.
To convert the other pages I try to use operator NOT in this way:

select pages 1,10,30, etc...
NOT
than the standard action Convert Color to Gray and keep black text

I try to save the selection, too, but it is not working

Where I am wrong?
Thank you very much

When you say you're using the standard action, do you mean you have two Action Lists in your hot folder: first your own with the select pages + NOT, then the standard Convert Color to Gray and Keep Black Text? If so that will not work because the standard Action Lists have been written to be independent of any previous selections. So the page selection from another Action List in your hot folder is not used.

Instead, you should create a copy of the standard Action List and edit it to have the selection you want. Use AND to combine your own selection with that made in the standard Action List.
