Script vs define variables

Jgandersen, inside the function convert you do not have access to the "job" variable, since you have not defined it in your function call and pass it as parameter. You can write the script without the function. There you have access to job. var MBpt = job.getVariableAsNumber( "[Stats....

XML pickup dismantle job

Thorsten,



after you dismantle the folder, every resulting job gets its own dataset. Changes in the dataset of a job is not reflected in the datasets of other jobs that where generated when dismantling the folder.

Is it possible to use a delimiter to retreive parts of a variable without scripting?

question about Process.execute

That is weird, as the callas pdfToolbox configurator is also using the array feature to build the command. Don't know what we did overlook, but it should work as well. If you want me to have a look at your code don't hesitate to send me your script. Regards, Peter Kleinheider peter@inpetto.cc

Good afternoon, the XML code you refer to is part of a PostScript Form XObject. I do not know of any software that extracts such PS-Parts as part of its functionality. The only solution I know is to write a Switch Script that searches for such XML as part of PS Form XObjects and save it in a separat...

Loosing conformity to pdf/x4 standard after splitting

Thomas,



split PDF using switch is not PDF/X savvy (as is true with a lot of other applications).



I can only advise to split first and then create X-4.

Just saw that PowerSwitch 09 has a comand to fetch files via http or ftp. So the script can be truncated and not relying on wget. … var String outName = job.createPathWithName( theURI.substring( slashPos+1, theURI.length) ); if ( s.download(theURI,outName) == true) { // success job.sendToSingle(outN...
