This topic describes how to run an Action List. The procedure is identical, regardless of whether you have created the Action List yourself, or if you're using a standard Action List provided by PitStop Pro or an imported Action List.
To run an Action List
- Open the Action Lists dialog. Refer to Where to find Actions and Action Lists.
- Select the Action List you want to run.
-
Determine if you want to run the selected Action on the whole document, or on a
page range:
- Complete document: All pages in the document. You can further specify to run it on all pages, or only on even or odd pages.
- User selection: The area or object(s) selected using the PitStop Select Object tool.
- Current page: Only the page which is currently displayed.
- Pages: All pages or a page range as specified.
-
Indicate if you want to view the results of the Action List in the Enfocus
Navigator or in a Preflight Report, after you have run the Action List.
It depends on your PitStop Pro Preferences if the
Enfocus Navigator or the Preflight Report will be shown (See ).
The Enfocus Navigator is a dialog that gives an overview of the changes performed by the selected Action List and enables you to generate a (Preflight) Report. This Preflight Report is a PDF document that displays general file information as well. See Checking the results of an Action List.
Select the appropriate option:- Always: The Enfocus Navigator dialog or the Report will always appear.
- Never: The Enfocus Navigator dialog or the Report will never appear.
- On Error: The Enfocus Navigator or the Preflight
Report will only appear if an Error is detected.
Errors can only be detected for Actions of the type "Check", if you have selected Log as error or Log as error and allow Sign-off (in the attributes of the "check" Action).
If you have chosen an "inform" Action, the requested information will be included in the Report, so make sure to select Always.
