9.2 Action types

About action types

Basically, when you create an Action List, you select something in the PDF document and you

change it into something else. For example, you select the spot color “Company Green” and

change it into “Company Gray”.

However, an Action List can do more. It can consist of the following types of actions:

• Selections on page 135

• Changes on page 135

• Checks on page 135

• Informs on page 135

Selections

Before you can change something in a PDF document, you evidently have to select it. Anything

which can be selected in a PDF document is listed in the Selections category, together with the

logical operators “AND”, “NOT, “OR”.

Changes

The list of changes includes almost anything which professional PDF editing tools like PitStop Pro

can do, including:

• Adding objects, or page numbers

• Changing a wide variety of properties, including page boxes

• Color conversions

• Removing objects

• Rotating and scaling page content

• Font- and color-related changes

Checks

Action Lists do not necessarily have to change PDF documents. You can also create them to check

various properties in PDF documents or detect specific objects or elements. For example, an

Action List can check font-related properties or detect empty pages in a PDF document.

Each “check” or “detect” action can be logged as “Warning”, “Sign-Off” or “Error” in the report.

Informs

Action Lists can also gather information from PDF documents. This can be information about

fonts, colors, OPI, etc. The corresponding chapters will be included in the report.

9.3 Running an Action List

Running an Action List can be done from the Enfocus Processing - Action Lists panel.
