[. . . ] We encourage users to use Distiller 6 (or later) though Adobe Distiller 5 is supported. Minor issues can arise when using Distiller 5 : - File names longer than 28 characters are not supported by Distiller 5, and will lead to errors - Non-Roman file names not supported by Distiller 5 with PitStop Automate. - Starting Distiller 5 (in Classic OS9) sometimes fails due to OS latencies. Using AppleEvents When using AppleEvents, by default, the Global Parameters will be used (see "Edit Global Parameters" on page 82). An icon next to the parameter will indicate that these Global Parameters are used, and the settings (Distiller Application, Time Out, . . . ) are greyed out. From the contextual menu (control-click) on the icon or the parameter itself, you can open the Global Parameters dialog. In the contextual menu of the Distiller application parameter, you can switch Use Local Setting on. In that case you can overwrite the Global Parameters by the settings in the Process Folder Parameters. Using Watched Folders When using Watched Folders, the Watched Folders option should be on, and the location of the Watched Folders as set in Distiller needs to be defined. The settings to be used are included in the Watched Folders. General Settings If the Keep Original PS File option is checked, the original PS file will be kept in the Job Folder. This is not influenced by the option PostScript File is Deleted or Moved to "Out" folder in the Watched Folder settings in the Acrobat Distiller application. The Original PS File can get a separate file tag, as the PDF file will be the Main file. To avoid problems, the PDF File Name should be set to Input File Name and fixed text:. PDF as this is the file Adobe Distiller creates, and the Distill Gateway looks for. Enfocus PitStop Automate User Guide 47 PitStop This Gateway uses the Enfocus PitStop library to detect problems in PDF files, and/or correct problems in the PDF files. This is defined using PDF Profiles and Action Lists. For more info, see "Preflighting and Checking PDF Documents" on page 65 Actions Location of the Enfocus Action List files (. eal) that have to be executed on the file. If this field is left blank, no Actions will be performed. Multiple Action Lists can be set using the + button. The Action Lists will be executed in the order they are set in the list. If one or more Action lists are used in combination with a PDF Profile, the Action lists will be executed BEFORE checking the file to the PDF Profile PDF Profile Location of the PDF Profile that has to be used to check the file. If this field is left blank, no PDF Profile will be used. These files can be exported from the Enfocus PDF Profile Control Panel Change Status to Success If this setting is switched on, a "successful" Pitstop will change the status of the Job to Success, even if it had a status Warning or Error from earlier Gateways. This is to avoid that files with an Error State from previous Gateways would go to the Error output of the PitStop Gateway, even though PitStop was successful. Certified Using the Certified Status dropdown, you can define the Certified Status of the file after being processed. If set to Leave Unchanged, the Certified Status will not change : if it was a Certified file, it will remain Certified, if it was not Certified, it will remain not Certified. When set to Make Certified, the file will be a Certified PDF, and the used profile will be included in the file, along with its status. [. . . ] The Parameters can also be opened by command-double-clicking the Process or Job Folder. See Job settings for more details. Edit Defaults The Edit Defaults function is only available on Gateways. It allows to define the default settings of Gateways. When a Process Folder is created from a Gateway, the Default settings are used, but can be altered in the Edit Parameters dialog. [. . . ]
