Pitstop 12 redefine page size

[pabney]

What I need to do is redefine the trim, bleed, media box based on the die line in the file. I was hoping to create a script that would find every item with a line color of die, get the boundaries to set the sizes I need. Is this doable in Pitstop 12? If so, any direction to how. I really know nothing about Pitstop scripting and need a place to start.

Thanks
Paul

It would help if you could upload or send a sample file.
you can send it to me at Enfocus, [email protected]

I sent a sample file to Andrew this weekend, and he took care of the issue for me. Seems with the power of Pitstop a simple three line script was all I needed.
So the first problem has been solved, now I still need to learn this Pitstop scripting. Anyone know of books for such. I know that Enfocus has an excellent online resource, but I still prefer learning from books.

Thanks Andrew for the quick solution. Now if only I could get all my vendors to act so quickly.

There are no books. Only trainers.

Books are obsolete before you get a chance to even open them.

Use the online resources. Experiment. You can learn a lot just by failing. you are not wasting anything but lines of code and pixels.

Everything can't be scripted, but much can.

For future reference, please share the 3 simple lines of script.
