Action in Pitstop pro to convert to greyscale

[RobertK]

We have Pitstop pro 8. I know there is an option like this, i use it alot. But i want to do it different.

When i get a PDF file from a customer which is for a book and if this contains color pages, we ask for a list which pages they are. Some do not want all pages color but do not have the knowledge to change this.

Is there an option with an action to convert to greyscale except for pages specified as color?

Something like 'Keep pages color, convert other pages to greyscale and keep text black'

Thanks

Hello RobertK,

I don't have a great experience on PitStop Pro but here is a tips whith Acrobat Pro

If you use Acrobat Pro also you have this option under Printing > Convert Color.

You can choose a range of pages you want to convert in greyscale.

I just checked this. You can indeed convert, but not specified batch of pages. You can say page 13-40. But not a list of pages like 1,4,6,24,56.

And i would really like to be able to do this within my Pitstop workflow

PitStop version 10 does what you're asking for. See the screen grab.

THANKS! But if you read my post you see i know and work with this option.

But i want and option that does: 'Keep pages color, convert other pages to greyscale and keep text black'

So the list i enter it keeps color and makes the rest greyscale. So basically the opposite pages you enter.

Anyone have an idea if this is possible??

Just a quick question, is this for a Digital Job or a print job?
in some of the copier RIP's (if this is for digital) you can specify better that way.

This is a digital job. We have a Fiery RIP, but without any bells and whistles.

I do the color bmanagement with Pitstop, so really want to be able to do it here.
