    Default Pitstop and Pantones

    If I have a PDF that contains Pantone 186 C and I need it to be Pantone 186 U, is there an easy way to change this? Not just for 186. All coated to uncoated names.
    Long story that I can expand upon if necessary. However, suffice it to say, I need a C to U solution. If not Enfocus, please point me to anything (Callas??) that might help,
    Thanks

    you could just make an action (or whatever PitStop calls it)
    that changes all Pantone C names to Pantone U
    or U to C to do all at once
    or
    select one item and change it with the inspector flyout
    or use global change and pick your new color from the library.

    I have made actions in the past. I cannot think of a way to change C to U though. Any suggestions?

    Both Acrobat and Pitstop Preflight offer you this function, to map all inconsistent spot names to whatever you want, C, CV, CVC, ...

    I will go and look at the preflight option. However, I am not really trying to get them all together from inconsistencies. I an trying to literally change ALL coated to uncoated.

    This is the way to do it, unless you are talking about alternative color values of the spot, in which case you have to change it per PDF or in workflow, if you have such thing.
