Prefligft/action in automation(switch)

Post by ibeg21 »

Hi,

how do you solve this kind of problem in automation, when you have 100-200 pdfs to view

Define the trim box along the cut line
Crease line two is on cyan, other is MY, everything should be Crease.
Circle, sometimes the color is defined as cut, sometimes as MY, is it possible to change it to the name Cut2

Because what if for example, there is an element defined MY in the document if we go to change Crease, it will automatically change that part as well

Or this has to be done manually

I send examples pdf

Here is a proposal but it's hard to deliver something really bullet proof given the context.

What I do is :

1) cut to cut2
Use rename spot color

2)Trim to cut line
Select spot cut2 then change trim to selection

3) Crease
Ok, this is where it's NOT bulletproof as we have to take some decisions. Here I consider open paths that reach the external cut line.
- Select cut2
- looking for overlapping objects that are NOT closed paths
- change stroke color

4) inside cuts
Select stroked items where colors could match (i.e. red w/ tolerance)
Change stroke color.

See if this helps.

Dear Loic,

amazing, thanks for this, I was thinking something different, but with this I can try everything, since I'm just learning, this means a lot to me.
Thank you very much
