How to use timerFired() and sendTo() together properly?

Peter, You can't accomplish what you want using the "Assemble Job" tool? That has triggers that let you check every so many minutes or a number of minutes after the last file was found... The approach you're taking does work though - you're correct in assuming that timerFired will do the t...

Sorting odd and even pages

My pleasure!



There are a couple of very good websites regarding regular expressions around, even including (I seem to remember) sites that let you try things out and stuff like that.

createPathWithName problem

Niels, This cannot work :-) In your timerFired call, you're using a "job: Job" parameter that doesn't exist. As a timerFired call is called by Switch at regular intervals, but not when a job is present, there is no "job" parameter passed to it. This means you cannot use the incom...

Sorting odd and even pages

Frode, You can for sure do this with a script, but why would you go there? I'm relatively certain you can also accomplish what you want with a simple file name filter using regular expressions and that wouldn't involve scripting at all. I'm not an expert on writing regular expressions without trying...

no outgoing connection

Let me add some words to Dwight's explanation: Example 1 will actually work, but is advised against as a general principle. Using an include / exclude pair works, but is harder to maintain. In general it is better to use a connection that uses include filters and have a connection that uses the &quo...

inactive configurators in pdfToolbox4

I'll only vouch for callas (due to working for Four Pees who does the support for callas software worldwide :-)), but Matt is correct that we strive to provide excellent support. Don't hesitate to mail if you'd run into other problems! On another note, why are you still using pdfCorrect if I can be ...

Combining specific pdf's into 1 pdf file

Combining specific pdf's into 1 pdf file

Hi Dave, I think it mainly depends on how complex you're trying to be and how "changeable" your solution needs to be. At one point I wrote a relatively complex script that was easily configurable to allow collating PDF files; either files in an incoming job folder or copied from an absolu...

Merge 2 single pages to a double page

Hi Benoit, callas pdfToolbox was already mentioned here, but to make it concrete, the following link points to the procedure to split pages saved with reader spreads from InDesign in two: http://www.callassoftware.com/callas/doku.php/en:support:tutorials:pdftoolbox4:brochure What you want to do is t...
