Remove all CMY from PDF (Map to Spot Color None)

[RunDontStop]

I think this can be done with an action list. I have PitStop Server but not PitStop Pro.

There is an action "Remap color". Here you can select channels – Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.

My thought was to map these to spot color None. If not that, then some other spot color and then map that to None.

The problem is I cannot use the Spot Color option in Remap Color. When I select Spot, it shows a white swatch and there is no name. I think that is the problem. There is an error "Line 2 incomplete action". How can I get a swatch with a name to use? I find no way to add User Swatches in PitStop Server.

Maybe this Action List can help you: *

Hi Magnus

I think you have share the wrong file.
It is not an action list.

In the "Remap color" Action you can go to the color database from the button with the 4 colored rectangles.

There, if you have not already done so, create a spot color "None" in the Local section with the alternate color space DeviceCMYK with everything set to 0%. Select that one as the color to map to. Do that for the three channels. Run.

Of course it shows a white rectangle in the color you picked because that is its color.
