Creating an Action List that changes the page layout of a PDF document

  1. Using the Enfocus Action List Editor, create an Action List that looks as follows:
    Select all
    Select odd pages  
    Select first page 
    NOT 
    AND 
    Move page content (horizontal: 5.0 mm, vertical: 0.0 mm) 
    Select all
    Select even pages 
    Select first page 
    NOT 
    AND 
    Move page content (horizontal: – 5.0 mm, vertical: 0.0 mm)
  2. Click View > Zoom > Zoom to Page Level to see the pages on the complete media size.
  3. To open the Action Lists dialog, click PitStop Pro > Action Lists.
  4. Select the respective Action List and click Run.
    PitStop Pro will apply the Action List in the following steps:
    Step Action
    1 Select all
    It's good practice to start Action Lists with a Select all Action, to reset previous selections if any.
    2 Select odd pages
    Content on odd pages should move to the left, whereas content on even pages should move to the right. First, the odd pages will be processed.
    3 Select first page
    4 NOT
    NOT excludes the first page from your selection, because it should remain unchanged.
    5 AND
    AND at this point combines the selections of steps 1 and 2 with the exclusion of step 4.
    6 Move page content 5.0 mm horizontally.
    This change moves the page content 5 mm to the left.
    7 Select all
    Resets the previous selection.
    8 Select even pages
    9 Select first page
    10 NOT
    NOT excludes the first page from your selection, because it should remain unchanged.
    11 AND
    AND at this point combines the selections of steps 7 and 8 with the exclusion of step 10.
    12 Move page content –5.0 mm horizontally
    This change moves the page content 5 mm to the right.
