Check Visual Content Query

[neil bradley]

Hi, I'm using Pitstop Profile Editor within Esko. From what I can tell its similar to the Pitstop Pro used for Adobe, similar but not 100% the same, as I'm wondering if I have options missing, I'm desperately trying to get the 'Check Visual Content' function to work and I cannot.

So I ask you, the community, please see screenshot attached, am I missing certain options/menus for this particular function?

Thank you!

Unfortunately you will need PitStop Pro inside Acrobat to grab the content objects. The good news is that once you've done that, you can save the Action List and then use it inside Esko applications without further need for Acrobat or PitStop Pro.

Ah ok, that's good to know, thanks!

Ok, I've managed to download pitstop pro and got it to grab a particular logo inside Acrobat. When i run the 'visual content query', its only finding logo's that are the exact size of the one initially 'grabbed'. Does this mean Pitstop can only find logo's/graphics of one size?

It should catch all possible occurences indepedently of their size:



Is it possible that something else is at play? For ex, the options in that very Action?

Hi Loic

We also use this action list. It works fine but it takes really a long time to find certain logos in a large document (90pp+)
Is there a way of speeding the search up or is this just normal with the time it takes?

[loicaigon]

Hi,

I think that it's normal to some extent. Before the page is scanned, it's actually rendered as an image. So that's 90 pages rasterized (internally) to the resolution you have set.

Higher resolution may increase detection but also time.
Lower resolution will speed up things but may reduce detection capacities.
So it's a choice between delay and quality.

Hi Loic

Thats makes sense why it takes quite a while to process.
Thanks for explaining this, I will try the Resolution at 100dpi

Cheers
