Am new to using javascipt within acrobat.
Was wondering if anyone knows a way to automate the removal of the dielines, as it can be very tedious using the Touchup object tool.

Hi
The clients are a multi national company that create games, so the artwork they supply has allready been pre-flighted for the printers. So it would cost us more to get it resupplied.
But anyways, i have allready downloaded the demo version's of Enfocus Pitstop Pro & Pitstop Server. I have created a an action list to select the dieline by name & colour, then another action to remove it. Then create a hot folder within Pitstop server with this action.So know have to persuade the money men to pay for the program, like many professional programs, not cheap.
Cheers
Neil

Hi Neil,
You could always use Enfocus InstantPDF JUST for this purpose? You can use the same action list built from the demo version and use within a PDF queue. Select a PDF for preflight and if a dieline is included inside the PDF, the preflight will remove.
This £150 product might help you instead of the large outlay?
Cheers!

I was hoping there was a way within the new preflight fixups to remove certain colour objects but no. If your clients are using Adobe InDesign / Illustrator you might ask them to place the dielines on a separate layer and then export with layers embedded. This would then enable the layers to be controlled in Acrobat and merged/removed at will.
Besides this, Enfocus Pitstop an Acrobat plug-in can select and remove any object in any colour space - www.enfocus.com
Let me know if this helps?
Diolch!

I've been using Acrobat since v1.0 and still get amazed by its power. An Acrobat ACE since 1999
