    Pitstop V21 (update 1)

    So, the culprit was this. Along with the update one must update their license server to 2021 (Update 1) It just seems that the pendulum has swung too far with Enfocus. A decade ago serial numbers for Pitstop were passed around like candy. It seemed that Enfocus acted (rightly) but that now, we...

    Pitstop V21 (update 1)

    I have followed those instructions. It still will not allow it. This is the only piece of software that I own that does not have a one click solution.

    Pitstop V21 (update 1)

    What am I missing? Why is this SO difficult every time there is an update? Pitstop V2021 working just great last Friday. Stupidly install the update to 2021 this morning. Suddenly, it cannot find a license! License program clearly shows v2021 with 9 available. So, just to get going I try to...

    Indesign - scripts - coated to uncoated

    Before I ask my team to spend time creating this - does anyone know of a script that will take coated to uncoated? Yes, I am aware there is a sweet EAL to do it after the fact in the pdf. Our procedure is to get it done in INDD. Why do we do this? Because our digital press will attempt to...

    Change page size INDD

    Remember how Quark would allow you to take a 17 x 11 and basically slide two 8.5 under it to then create single pages of 8.5 x 11? Has Indesign ever come up with a way to do this? Example. Customer sends in a spread with say P4 and P1 on it. I want to be able to paginate in my own software. So...

    Switch / EAL idea - thoughts?

    Pitstop Pro now as the ability to look for a graphic and detect if it is a known graphic. I want to do the following and am wondering the feasibility. You all might shoot a hole in it quickly before I waste time. Say I have five dies. I make five 2D barcodes say .5 x .5. I go into Illustrator...

    Switch - sort pdfs by size

    Got to admit. Working from home today and cannot get to my Switch. However, I do not remember this feature? Would like to have centralized PDF in and then branches of say 8.5 x 11, 8.5 x 5.5, etc If this cannot be done from within Switch, can a script be written?

    Cannot get marks placed

    Looking for automation. This could occur 500 times a year? Customer sends in on one size #10 die. We have our own. They are consistent....not on ours We are consistent needing ours. I have it 100 percent working except for crop marks. I do not have to have those, but it will freak people out...

    Cannot get marks placed

    Tough to describe. Eal to to do the following. I get all the way to the final step Original pdf brought it. New PDF laid on top. Sizes are squirrelly, but after some tinkering, Crop, Trim, Art 8.5 x 11 Bleed and Media - 9.5 x 11 There are not marks on this as I removed them to get the two pdfs...

    Colors Used in a PDF

    I do not think that Switch / Pitstop Server can do this - but thought I would ask if (a) I am wrong and they can or (b) there is a third party software that can. Assume there are no slugs that would throw things off. Pure 8.5 x 11 PDF that is 9.5 x 12. Assume as well that the artist did...

    Non-printing background (Pitstop)

    Should be a setting on the Prisma to print all layers or visible layers? We did hit this on our Screen Digital press. We did have to create a step to flatten out and delete layers not used. The final pdf had no layers

    Switch stupid question

    Most of my Switch flows are pretty simple. I have copied / borrowed / pasted from ones supplied to get more complicated flows. I need help with this one. Assume I have 3 folders (Folder A, Folder B, Folder C) and each folder has 100 pdfs in each. I want to have a folder (Input) that Switch is...
