Pitstop 9 action - Print Trim Box dimensions?

[MacBrian]

I'm stuck in old Acrobat Pro 9 and Pitstop 9.

Is there any way (using either Acrobat Pro or Pitstop 9) to label each page in a multi-page PDF with the trim box dimensions? As part of preflighting files destined to be evaluated be the sales dept. for quoting, I have an action I made that reduces the PDF art to either Letter or Tabloid size, applies our pre-production "comp" stamp, and adds a full file path so that anyone can find the actual file while evaluating it. After running the action I print hard copies so the sales and engineering dept have something physical to work with while evaluating a print job.

I'm wanting a way to automatically add the trim box dimensions of each PDF page next to the file's path that my Pitstop action adds. This will be especially handy on those multiple-page PDFs that have different trim box sizes on each page.

Pitstop 9 doesn't appear to have a "trim box" width and height dimension variable for me to use in my little custom action. Am I missing something? Is there a tool in Acrobat 9 Pro itself that could add this if Pitstop can't?

Can anyone tell me if Pitstop 10 (or newer) has a "trim box" variable that would allow me to do this? (This might help me justify an upgrade to the powers that be if that were the case!)

Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

Not in 9 or 10, you can do it in 11 onwards using variables and Smart Preflight by selecting the correct variable when you run the action.

Andrew:
Whoo-hoo! Finally have the upgrade now -- Pitstop Pro 12 Update 2 in Acrobat 11. Wow, so many questions -- I'm trying to absorb this update and also everything in the new Adobe CC. I'm on upgrade overload! I'll send you an email with a few questions...

Fire away, that's what we're here for.

When I get the mail I can send you some recordings of webinars that we have done for version 12 users.

Thanks!
I sent the email with the details yesterday. In the meantime I figured out how to add the PMS Spot Color names to the comp stamp....that was easy once I found what I was looking for in the new interface(s). But adding trim width and trim height doesn't seem to be as straightforward so I'm still stuck on that...
