Interesting idea. I just gave it a try but Applescript seems inconsistent. Sometimes the shortcut is executed, sometimes it is not. Not sure how bullet proof that could be really. But happy to be proven wriong.

If you come to things like Applescript, the limit is that PitStop Pro doesn't provide a dictionary, so an Applescript couldn't eventually drive it. I once tried to use System Events to use pseudo user interaction but it wasn't a success and I quickly move away. In a more general manner, if the...

I imagine a droplet could get the files open in Acrobat when they are dropped in a folder. But that would be all.

If your question is: "Can I get PitStop Pro to work with a hotfolder", then the answer is no. Only PitStop Server has this feature.

Even if random, could they have common ground? Same PDF producer, same customer submitting the file? If it's random, it's could to be related to the file. But if it's vector, I can't really think of something. Ok, I would normally NOT advice this but just a quick and dirty check. Can you refry...

is the black bar a vector or a raster? If you can exclude anything in Caldera, it could be some data "issues" in the source file. I kind of remember PDF where images would look positive or negative depending on the reader, due to to internal data for that image. It's not what you describe but I...

If you are using PitStop Server, you could flatten files or if it's specific pages you need, you could either have an Action List that targets that very page and rasterize it, or slit pages apart in the flow and use PDF2Image app for the rasterization. Many options. If manual, exporting from...

Hi all, I very welcome such files to see if we can provide a generic preflight profile that could fix them all. If interested, please send me files me at loica at enfocus dot com with details.

Based on the files you sent me, I believe this is perfectly doable. The thing is that you have images that are some alone, others accompanied by a title. Both cases can be covered by Select texts [2 actions for font +point size] Select Images OR Then resize; That will resize to images and title...

"Since the process of selecting the cards on a page can't really be automated..." I see in your picture that there is a kind of a dotted line around images, couldn't that used to select your cards? Feel free to send me a PDF at loica at enfocus com.

For info, In PitStop, we have an unsharp mask Action to make things sharper and in the lat July release, we put an effort in file size reduction. You might want to give it a try.

Yes but I would really hate that something would work differently based on if ever this is run on Pro or in Server. Imagine you end up using PitStop Server, woudln't that be nice that this is as smooth as possible in terms of process? Having something that runs on current page is basically an...

Well, the "current" page is something of a viewing experience. How would an Action now about what is the "current" page as selected inside Acrobat. And even if we did allow this by some means, how would that behave in PitStop Server?

Hi, Yes you can certainly find documentation about logical operators here: https://cdn-www.enfocus.com/manuals/ReferenceGuide/PP/25/enUS/home.html#en-us/common/ppr/concept/co_actions_tips.html And as a user, you can access the learning platform where there are hundreds of hours of workshops...

Your problem is actually coming from your selection and how you believe it works. When you do: Select first page Select font You actually change the first page selection to the font selection that can be found anywhere. Hence your problem. What you need here is to tie both selections with a...

I think indeed that the first step is better understand where the problem comes from. To be honest, I would be concerned that the solution was to make an image out of the file. Because to get the rendering done, the flattening engine would certainly try to access that font anyway. Worst case...

Why Switch? Because it's I think a more widely accessible automated workflow design solution. As I did programming in the past, I know value of coding but not every prepress operator or manager is a programmer. There is an interesting Enfocus Forum thread that elaborates on Switch working with...

Hello, Given the file that you shared to me, I think PitStop is also capable of processing this kind of files with some adjustments. For example: - Split pages in half => will split spreads into series of 2 pages - Reorder pages => define how pages must be re-shuffled.

Hi Edward, Would you mind sending that file? I would like to have a look at how PitStop could help? Loic

Out of curiosity, how did you end up with an imposed document to work with and not the source file? Is it really what the customer provided? Or did you only archived the imposed file and dropped the source file?
