Check spot color by name

Belongs to

Checks if one or more particular spot colors are present in the document.

Note:

From version 12 update 2 onwards, you can use regular expressions to define the spot color name.
From version 13 update 1 onwards, there is an extra option to search for spot color(s) based on a list of names. This new option is useful if different spot color names refer to the same color. It also allows you to check for different spot colors in one go.

In the attributes of the Check spot color Action, proceed as follows:

Select the appropriate option from the list:
- If you choose Check all spot colors, no other options have to be set.
- If you choose one of the other options, you have to specify the name of the spot color(s) that have to be checked. Proceed with step 2.
Enter the name of the spot color(s) concerned:
- In case of Check spot color by regular expression, you can use regular expressions. PitStop supports Boost Regular Expressions. For an overview of the options, refer to http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html.
- In case of Check spot color by name or Check spot color by name from list, you can simply type the name of the spot color(s) concerned or use the color picker or the Grab color button . Note that, in case of a list, you must enter the names one by one, each on a separate line. It is for example not possible to select two colors in the document, and select them in one go, using the Grab color button . Instead, you must select the first color, grab it, then select the second color, and grab it and so on.
If the case of the spot color name (upper or lower case letters) does not matter, select the Ignore case checkbox.
