• a PDF with "XXXXXX" in a spot colour

• a working action

• a broken action

In the broken action, I do not use "replace font" and the result has broken kerning.

In the working action, I do use "replace font" and the result is good.

My goal is to use the action in Switch but I do not really want to build an action per font.

Switch can give me the font name, but it does not look like the action can take a variable for this.


1) is there a way to pass in a varible here?

2) is there another way to achieve this?

Thank you for looking!

This was a tricky one, I did not find a solution. I even tried Convert to postscript > PDF > Run action (without any luck).

Interesting one hey Magnus!

The "change font" step seems essential but cannot be driven by variables so I cannot automate for all documents

Hi there,
I think it's tied to corrupted font width, I gave a try to "Change corrupt font widths" in place of your "Change font", and it worked fine (at least for me!)

Awesome! thanks!

I had to also add in "Select corrupt font widths" (Tolerance 0) before the "Change corrupt font widths"

Looks to be working
