Here's how you can map Cyan to, in this case, PANTONE Red 032 C.

That is not Pitstop, but PDF toolbox.

Thank you, Matt. This is how tools should work. Simply and that it works.

The sad part would be it was hard enough to get PitStop, trying to convince upper management to get and switch to ToolBox would be like doing rain dance on a bright sunny day. Of course, I can always kick the bucket down to vendors and let them handle this... I'm not the type that like to pass the bucket, especially when I know I have the capability to do the job correctly. That said, if you don't have the right tool for the job you just can't do it.

Appreciate the feedback and suggestions. Thanks everyone.

yeah, and it's only 89 bucks, US
can I borrow your credit card?

No, it's not PitStop and it's not $89. There is a competitive upgrade available for PitStop users. No, we don't take and revoke your license for PitStop for the discount. PitStop does a lot of great things. pdfToolbox does a lot of great things. Some over lap, many others do not. Another good tool to have in your tool box.

I agree 100% Matt.
It's never enough to have good tools around.
We have Pitstop, PDF toolbox and Prinect plugins.
I have Neo on wish list and hopefully will get it, sooner or later
When management understands that good and productive worker is one with all the tools required to do the job easier, it is easy to get them.

Lets say someone wants to map the Cyan to PMS 293 CVU. The intended result is to make the spot density the same as the original separation, ie...5% C = 5% PMS293, 25% C = 25% PMS 293, 50% C = 50% PMS 293, 100% C = 100% PMS 293. Have never been able to get that to work. I am still using Pitstop 7.5x though to be fair if this has been fixed in a later version.

Hey Joe,

Thanks for pointing this out. This is indeed not expected behaviour. I'll make sure this is on the list for a future release.
On a side note, Enfocus' standalone PDF editor PitStop Extreme is able to perform your request correctly. You might want to give it a try by downloading the trial version.

Cheers,
Bert

Can it do gradients?
