What it does
Allows you to rename old or faulty PANTONE spot color names to match the new, correct naming
conventions.
You can choose one of the following methods:
- Replace PMS with PANTONE. PMS stands for Pantone Matching
System and was used in the past. Using this method, the old color name PMS Yellow
C will become PANTONE Yellow C.
- Make PANTONE upper case: "PANTONE" is not always spelled correctly.
Using this method, you can fix this part of the color names. For example, Pantone
Yellow C will be changed to PANTONE Yellow C.
- Add suffix <suffix of your choice> if not present: If suffixes
are missing, you can tell PitStop which suffix to add. Note that only the current suffixes can
be selected; old suffixes are not in the list.
PitStop checks if the normalization method results in an existing PANTONE color. If that is
the case, the color name is changed.
If no replacement is found, for example because the spot color name in the document is
unknown/incorrect or no PANTONE Spot color, you will get a warning. This is also the case if
renaming a colorant in the DeviceN space would result in a duplicate (as it's not possible to
have twice the same name in a DeviceN space).
