Re: Adjust the sticky note in the annotated report.

You can disable the summary annotation, but you cannot change its text. Only OEM partners have the option of (some) changes to the "Preflighted by" and "Report generated by" sections. You can also specify whether the summary annotation is open by default, its colour, and some oth...

Re: Create transparent background on PDF with PDFtk

The choice of words in that man page is a bit strange. A PDF does not have a background as such. There's just a page (with no colour), and objects are placed directly on that page. It sounds like what is meant is something that a lot of scanning software does: they add a completely white object as f...

Re: Add Layer

If you add an object to a layer that does not yet exist, it will be created. Afterwards you can change the layer's properties.

Re: Preflight report sticky note

Although somewhat hidden, the annotated report has a setting to specify whether you want the annotation to be initially opened or not. In your PitStop Server installation folder, located the file Resources/Report Templates/Annotated Report/ServerReportAnnotated.prefs. Copy this file to some other fo...

Re: 104: Rendering images through PitStop Server not supported.

Hi,

It sounds like you're trying to use the "EnforceServer" ProcessingMethod. Try setting it to "EnforceInternal" instead. See Configuration XML file -

Re: Colour Management Settings

Spot colours in PDF contain an "alternate" which is usually CMYK or Lab. This is what PitStop uses to calculate the conversion to CMYK, and (barring some bugfixes) this has not changed significantly in the last few years. I suggest you double and triple check your settings to make sure the...

Re: Colour Management Settings

Hi Neil, Colour management is a broad and interesting topic - much too broad to explain it all in a few sentences. As a general introduction I heartily recommend the article http://www.colorwiki.com/wiki/The_Color_of_Toast on the colorwiki. Specifically for your questions I can give some recommendat...

Re: Change PDF trim box in relation to centre, not origin

You could use the "Change trim box" action set to "Resize", and use Switch variables to calculate how much to resize. Alternatively, throw away all the page boxes and start anew. First use "Change media box", which has an option to move the page content anchored to the ...

Re: Javascript Actions

This is currently not possible in PitStop - like you said, Acrobat can already do it. You could probably use Switch with an Acrobat configurator to automate this process.

Re: action list using 'NOT' operator

Could you elaborate on exactly what is not working? Something to remember for the NOT operator is that it selects everything that is not selected by the previous action. In your case, anything that does not have CMYK (0,0,0,100) fill will be selected. That includes objects without fill, objects with...
