checking negative text

[Repro_is_still_alive]

is there any way of preflighting for negative text and line thickness in a PDF using pitstop, from what i can see it is a generic check and can't distinguish between positive or negative.

Repro,

Can you define 'negative' is this context? Text with only a stroke color? Invisible text with an overprint setting?
How do you add these negative text elements?

Are you referring to reverse type?

[Repro_is_still_alive]

Yes i am referring to reverse out type.

Yes i am referring to reverse out type.

After checking the definition of reversed type, I might have an Action List that can help in number of cases.

Select all
Select text segments
Select overprint (knock-out)
AND
Select line art/Select image
Select color (in case of line art)/ Select color space (in case of images)
AND
OR
Select overlapping objects
Log selection (fill out what error should be).

Works on reversed type on black background.

My two cents...
