had the almost same thing happen...


hard drive for Film setter RIP died, replaced the drive, re-installed the software, got everything to work except could not "print" to film.  Found out the USB dongle would not let you finish the install was due to the fact that it was linked to the old hard drive.


needed to buy new dongle, updated software, etc....



so, we don't have a film setter anymore.

what OS are you running?
the reports are in different places depending on the OS.

• On Windows XP and 2003:
  
  
  Code Select Expand
  HD\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data (this is a hidden folder)\Enfocus Prefs folder\Report Templates\Custom
• On Windows 7, 2008 and newer versions:
  
  
  Code Select Expand
  ..\ProgramData\Enfocus Prefs Folder\Report Templates\Custom

Weird, I modified my pitstop report years ago, so I know it can be done, just had to find it.


took me a while, finally found it on my Mac (not sure if it will help on your PC):


hd/library/application support/adobe/acrobat/DC/plug-ins/Enfocus/pitstop pro.acroplugin (right click, show package contents)/resources/report templates/pitstop

Should be here:

• PitStop Pro:
  
  
• Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat <version e.g. 11.0> \Acrobat\plug_ins\Enfocus\PitStop Pro Resources\Report Templates \PitStop

where's OSHA when you need them?

most of the guys that operated those had at least one short finger on their working hand.   

I think I worked with that guy....     

hopefully you got the upgrade

I just had to replace my Mac at home. I had the 27 inch (bought it new in November 2010), didn't want to do the 24, but didn't really have a choice.

Got the 24", and it's waaaaayy better than the 27". I like it and so does my wife.
Don't miss the extra large screen, works great, super fast, SSD drive.

Happy camper

but where the heck is that object menu? I go to window/ interactive but I don't see it

the object menu is at the top, next to the File - Edit - Layout - Type - Object - ...



or right click like she said

open up the Interactive window (Object menu, scroll down to Interactive) and select "Convert to Object", that will remove the interactive part and make it a regular text box.


hopefully

looks like something that was copied from 1 app to another. 
Like the text may be in an Illy file, select, copy, paste into Indesign, result you get weird text boxes


not sure tho, just a guess because I've seen similar objects.

I believe it's only on a PC, since the Mac version hasn't been updated since dinosaurs roamed the earth.

I like the ones with windows...  that melt




fun times
