Learning Pitstop 12

[Farabomb]

I still find it wonky compared to v7... but that was made a long time ago. You have to expect things will change and just as I had to learn it before, I'll just adapt again.

Trying to pull out bleeds using pitstop select tool
not sure how to do it.
I'm not seeing a handle

[Joe]

You're not seeing these handles?

[Tracy]

actually yes, but I'm not able to move them.
(can't grab it)

[Farabomb]

Practice Tracy, practice.

I have the same problem with Acrobat X but it works in Acrobat XI.

Those damned things are hard to grab sometimes

Ever tried manipulating an object using X/Y co-ordinates in the Inspector?

Just a thought

Of course but the handles that are there do not always work. Like I mentioned, I can grab them and pull them out with Acrobat XI but not in Acrobat X.

[abc]

can you send me the example joe?

I would like to understand why

[Joe]

It is not any certain PDF file. It is every PDF. In Acrobat 10 I cannot grab a handle and resize whether it is text, image, or a vector object. The same PDF opened in Acrobat XI and I can grab the handle and resize it.

I just updated to Acrobat X to the recently released Acrobat X 10.1.12 and now I can grab the handles and re-size objects. Weird stuff.

[abc]

that is really weird, what OS are you running?

That's how I used to do it. Once the handles showed up, it's my standard backup. I can usually grab the handles, but sometimes it's tricky; takes three or four attempts.
