KB173217982: Automation Engine - PitStop Profile Editor cannot select Fonts or Colors

Question

Why can't I select fonts or colors when building a PitStop Action List with the Automation Engine PitStop Profile Editor?

Answer

The PitStop Profile Editor in Automation Engine is based on the same Profile Editor used in Adobe Acrobat^® and ArtPro+. Some features in the (shared) Profile Editor require an open PDF document context (example: the color picker) or a local system context (example: the font picker). The Automation Engine Profile Editor does not have this context, so these features will not work.
