Creating a QuickRun

When you create a QuickRun, you must select the Action Lists, Global Changes and/or a Preflight Profile you want to run on the currently opened document. As you cannot edit or change the content of Action Lists, Global Changes and Preflight Profiles from within a QuickRun, we recommend checking or preparing them first, before creating the QuickRun.

To create a QuickRun

Open the QuickRuns dialog.
Refer to Where to find QuickRuns in PitStop Pro.
Do one of the following:
- To create a new QuickRun based on an existing one, click > New > New From/New from File and select the QuickRun you want to start from.
  The option New from allows you to select an existing QuickRun from the Standard database; New from file allows you to select a file (*.eqr) from your computer.
- To create a new QuickRun from scratch, click > New > New.
Enter a meaningful name and a description.
Click , and select the Action List(s), one or more Global Changes, and/or the Preflight Profile you want to add to your QuickRun.
Do one of the following:
- To add Action Lists, Global Changes or a Preflight Profile from your database, select From Database, and then select one or more Action Lists or Global Changes, or a single Preflight Profile
- To add an Action List, Preflight Profile or Global Change from a hard disk or network drive, select From File, and then click Browse. Select the appropriate file and click Open.
Click OK.

The Action Lists, Global Changes and Preflight Profile appear in the Run box.
Click the Move Up or Move Down button to set the sequence in which the Action Lists and Global Changes should be run.

Note: Check the sequence of the Action Lists and Global Changes carefully because running the same Actions in a different order may produce a different outcome. You may want to test this first by running the Actions individually and check which sequence is correct.
If necessary, select Certified PDF Preflight to start a Certified PDF workflow for your PDF documents.
If a Preflight Profile is selected, you can decide if you want to Allow fixes from Preflight Profile.

Note: If fixes are disabled inside the Preflight Profile, this option will not be available.
Determine if you want to run the QuickRun 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.
Indicate if you want to view the results of the QuickRun in the Enfocus Navigator or in a Preflight Report, after you have run the QuickRun.
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 which gives an overview of the changes performed by the selected QuickRun and enables you to generate a Preflight Report. This Preflight Report is a PDF document which displays preflight and general file information as well.
Select the appropriate option:
- Always: The Enfocus Navigator dialog or the Report will always 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).
- Never: The Enfocus Navigator dialog or the Report will never appear.
Click OK.
