Running a Global Change

To run a Global Change, i.e. to apply it to the document that is currently open

  1. Open the Global Changes dialog.
  2. To search for the Global Change you need, do one of the following:
    • Click Standard and check the different categories.
    • In the Search field at the top of the dialog, type a keyword, or part of a keyword. For example, type scale to see the Global Changes that relate to scaling.
  3. Select the desired Global Change.
  4. Determine if you want to run the selected Global Change 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 Pro Select Object tool.
    • Current page: Only the page which is currently displayed.
    • Pages: All pages or a page range as specified.
  5. Indicate if you want to view the results of the Global Change in the Enfocus Navigator or in a Preflight Report, after you have run the Global Change.
    It depends on your PitStop Pro Preferences if the Enfocus Navigator or the Preflight Report will be shown (See Edit (Windows) or Adobe (Mac) > Enfocus PitStop Pro Preferences > General ).

    The Enfocus Navigator is a dialog that gives an overview of the changes performed by the selected Global Change and enables you to generate a Preflight Report. This Preflight Report is a PDF document that displays preflight and general file information as well.

    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.
  6. Click .
  7. Check the result of the Global Change in your PDF document.
    Refer to the chapter Checking the results of a Global Change.
    Tip: If the result is not OK, choose Edit > Enfocus Undo Execute Global Change or click the Undo button . Change the settings of the Global Change as required. See Editing a Global Change.
