Hi, does anyone know of a way to check for fills of 0% of all 4 colours and an Alpha fill of less than 100%.
Thanks in advance
Scott

There is an Action called "Check for zero fill line art".

There is an Action called "Select transparent objects" (only check the "Check fill alpha" checkbox) and add "Log selection" with an appropriate message. Objects with 100% alpha will be ignored.

Thanks for the info Freddy, unfortunately it fails to identify the offending box. Not sure what is going on but it isn't acting like a normal vector as it is invisible but when ripped appears as a grey box. For some reason I can't upload any pics here to show what is going on. Here are some links.

Is it possible to share the offending file/page as pdf?

Here I have knitted a quick and dirty solution.
Maybe it helps.

When executing the action list, make sure that the show results option is enabled so that the messages appear.

Hi Yosimo, sorry for the late reply, I've been on annual leave. Happy to say that your action list works perfectly. I will incorporate it into my preflight and hopefully avoid this issue arising again. Many thanks!!
