Visualizing an Action List at a particular speed ("Run mode")

Have PitStop go through the Action List at a set speed. Meanwhile you can see what is happening in your document.

To run the Action List at a set speed

  1. Make sure the Action List Visualizer is active. Starting the Action List Visualizer
  2. Check the run speed and change it as required by clicking at the bottom of the dialog. 10% is very slow; 100% is very fast.
  3. Set one or more breakpoints as required.
  4. To actually start visualizing, click the Run button . The Action List is executed from the beginning to the end, one Action after the other. Meanwhile, you can see what is happening in the document, on the current page. The pointer indicates which Action will be executed next. Processing will stop at a breakpoint, when you click the Pause button , or when the end is reached. Note that Actions in a collapsed group (hidden Actions) are executed in one go (so not one by one).
  5. To restart processing after a breakpoint or a pause, click the Run button . Processing will go on until the next breakpoint, manual pause, or till the end.
Once all Actions have been executed, you can see the end result of the Action List in your sample document. You can now make changes if needed, and check the Action List again from the beginning. To do so, click the Restart button to undo all changes and move the pointer to the beginning of the Action List.
Note: You can also undo the changes through the menu: Edit > Enfocus Undo Visualize Action List .
