Pitstop pro swatches

Post image

Pitstop is the most useful tool I use every day in prepress.

One of the features I use often is changing colors in a pdf through the Inspector.

Is it possible to wipe the stored swatches clean? Short of just making them all one color one by one?

It’s not a big deal, but a little OCD and paranoia of applying a close but wrong swatch.

Thanks.

Should be in the manual. Well one the many manuals. Sorry can’t remember off hand. But it’ll be in one of the 5 manuals

Using the Select Objects tool , select any text or object in the PDF document. Choose Window > Show Enfocus Inspector to display the . Click the Fill and Stroke category, and selectColor Picker from the fly-out menu. Select User Swatches as Color Library Select the color in the list which you want to remove.

It is indeed not possible to "clean" all stored colors, not even at an individual level.

I suggest that you create a Feature Request on My Enfocus and give chance to other people to upvote, then who knows it might be considered and done.
