8. Action Lists
One of the main reasons for using Enfocus PitStop Server is the automated editing of PDF
documents. To do this, you can add one or more Action Lists to a hot folder. An Action List is a
series of sequential tasks saved in one file. For example, this can be tasks such as changing color
or objects. Enfocus PitStop Server will automatically carry out the respective tasks in the defined
sequence.
For example, suppose you have a line-art object in several PDF documents. You want to change
the following properties of this object in all of your PDF documents:
Fill colors of a number of areas in the object
Lines in the object which are thinner than a given line weight.

This job may consist of a number of sequential tasks, as outlined in the illustration. Using Enfocus
PitStop Server, you can apply these tasks to all PDF documents that arrive in a specified hot folder.
