Selection and removing CMYK objects apart from spot objects

Post by Kazuar »

Hello.
Is it possible to create an Action, which will be removed from the file, for example, CMYK+1_Spot
all raster and vector objects painted CMYK, but at the same time leaving all vector Spot objects?

You could either do as bens suggests to select everything you want to remove or maybe it is more safe to remove everything BUT the things you want to keep. The later could be done with an action like this:

Select all
Select line art
Select all spot colors
AND
NOT
Remove selection

Using this method you could choose to also preserve all text in spot colors

Select all
Select line art
Select text segments
OR
Select all spot colors
AND
NOT
Remove selection
