    Acrobat: Changing size of rectangle? NOT an annotaion

    Hah, now your just teasing ABC! A manual way of achieving the same end for those not yet on 2017 is to remove the last step from my action list and change it to something else, such as a colour fill change from registration colour to say 10% K for example. Run the action list on all pages… Only...

    Acrobat: Changing size of rectangle? NOT an annotaion

    Ah yes, I did not realise that I was using a feature that was specific to 2017… Here are screenshots of my two files, is it the resize step? Offhand the other steps should not be specific to the new version (looks like I have to re-read the release notes). The boxes show as a tint of...

    Acrobat: Changing size of rectangle? NOT an annotaion

    To get you started, I have attached a couple of action lists using 2 different selection methods, the resize is to 0.5mm width so you will need to adjust that. Stephen Marsh

    Acrobat: Changing size of rectangle? NOT an annotaion

    Thanks, as long as the gutter area is consistent, then it should be easy enough. Your file has page content “all over the place”… Will there be any consistency in page boxes, location of the object etc? I was hoping that the gutter would be in a consistent position on left and or right...

    Free image preprocessing app

    Thank you for the reply! 1. Perhaps a Mac thing 2. Excellent, metric rules! :] 3. I did do the conversion from metric to inches to add a new “odd business card size product” and it was correctly auto selected. My point was that this is not as simple as in say the USA where there may only be one...

    Acrobat: Changing size of rectangle? NOT an annotaion

    A PitStop action list can change the box… Can you provide a download link to some samples? What is common about the boxes? Are they all the same fill and or stroke colour? Are they always in a similar position, centred on the page, but variable width within the gutter area? Stephen Marsh

    It was Safari on the Mac… I did not try from Windows, perhaps it is a Mac thing! Stephen Marsh

    Free image preprocessing app

    Just an idea, it may be too much work for a small subset users though… I am sure that you are aware of the Robocopy CLI command (better than Xcopy). It can be hard for new users to learn though, remembering all of the switches, arguments, syntax etc. There is a GUI front end called “Robocopy...

    A curiosity: strange conversion results from custom icc profile

    Theory states that Perceptual intent should provide “more pleasing” results. Practice shows that generally Relative Colorimetric + Black Point Compensation are often “more pleasing”. This is often due to the compression of Perceptual reducing overall contrast. It is very much profile, CMM and...

    A curiosity: strange conversion results from custom icc profile

    Agreed 100%, even more so on averaging out readings from say beginning/middle/end of run. If curiosity can provide a copy of the CGATs measurement data, then other interested parties could see what happens with their profiling software. Stephen Marsh

    Free image preprocessing app

    Exiton, firstly thank you for freely offering your product. I need to do further testing, however I like what I see so far and I have only played for 30 minutes or so with a simple 4C vector business card PDF! I think that there is a small core niche market that would find this very useful and...

    UCR using ICC color Profiles

    I didn’t wish to muddy the water with the whole UCR vs. GCR thing in my previous reply, however Gordo is of course correct in bringing this up… It is not very often that we hear people wishing to use UCR in this day and age! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_component_replacement...

    UCR using ICC color Profiles

    If you really wish to successfully go down this path you will likely need to consider using a Devicelink ICC Profile based workflow, not just a standard Device ICC profile (if reseparating text, vectors and raster images). If you are only reseparating raster images, then you could probably just...

    Win .BAT file Move & Rename Using File Modified Date - Not Run Date

    Thanks Tim, I would like to use a “lowest common denominator” for disparate Windows desktop and sever OS versions, keeping this as simple as possible. I was hoping for a single self contained .bat or .cmd file, however if the script has to reference another bit of code saved somewhere then so be...

    Win .BAT file Move & Rename Using File Modified Date - Not Run Date

    Thank you for the reply Tim! I can’t get that command to work, however that could be user error. As is always the case, the expectation is that it should be easy to simply swap out the run date of the batch file to use the file modified date, however it does not appear to be that easy! I would...

    Win .BAT file Move & Rename Using File Modified Date - Not Run Date

    I’m not sure if what I wish to do is possible, I have spent a lot of time searching without much luck. I’m looking for a Windows native command line to use in a simple .bat or .cmd file that is available to many different Windows OS. I don’t want any third party software dependencies that...
