PitStop Server and PitStop Pro give different results

[nnater]

Hi all

I'm running a very simple Action List in Switch to check the number of color separations. If I run the Action List in PitStop Pro, it returns the expected result but in PitStop Server it does not. The list is:
- Select all
- Check number of separations (total page check) with: equal to: 1; Don't count All; Don't count the color "Fenster-Platzhalter"; Don't count if tint is 0%; Check complete document

The PDF contains a black logo (K only) and a barcode in RGB. PitStop Pro recognizes this and reports back that 4 separations are present, PitStop Server lets it slide and does not report back any errors. I used the exact same Action List (exported from Manage Actions Lists in Switch, Windows) and ran it with the same PDF in Acrobat on macOS. I deleted the element and reconfigured it once aswell, nothing.

What am I missing? Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,

Are the color management settings the same between Pro and Server?

Hi Loic

They weren't identical before, I've changed them now in Pro to the same ones that Server is using and the result remains the same...

Then I would advice to contact the Support. In similar conditions, there is simply no reasons for such a divergence.
