Re: Send Mail: Define sender

I use the webservice https://postmarkapp.com for sending emails as some of my customers.

You need to setup DNS records for this to work.

And of course script to communication with the api.

I have bought a script package through my reseller (InProduction), which does this for me.

Re: PitStop poor performance under VPN

Hi Jay

I have the same issue from my mac.
And I think it is because I have a shared library of action lists, which is on a network volume at work. Maybe it is because it is not speedy enough to read the folder over VPN?

Group objects in action list

Maybe I am missing something.

But I am trying to make an action list, where I want to select the last added objects and then group them.
This is they are easy to select at a later time.

But I can not find an action to group. Am I missing something or is it not available.

Re: Insert image

Yes.

This flow is started by a csv-file, which is converted to XML and picks up a pdf, named from one of the fields.
And it always starts with "P" and the files injected always start with "0-" and then a field name from the csv.

So I am sure of the order :-)

Re: Insert image

It is a bit like I thought. I ended up with the flow below. The process involves overlaying 3 different graphics in one pdf-file. All files need size, but not all need cupsize or sticker. I use the same technic to copy graphics from page 1 to page 2 in pdf. It is the place variable by using a custom...

Re: Insert image

Then merge the newly injected PDF with the PDF, where you want to paste the image. Make sure to sort the files so that the new image is page 1 and the original PDF is page 2 (you might need to use Rename to add a suffix to the files before merging. Would you mind sharing the part of the flow, where...

Re: Insert image

I don't know if you have Switch but I have done something similar using Switch and Pitstop Server. In Switch I inject the new image based on a variable. If it's not already a PDF use the Acrobat configurator to open the image and save as PDF. Then merge the newly injected PDF with the PDF, where yo...

Re: Connect 2017 Ships!

I will do that.

So this new version uses the new method to communicate with Switch?

And then I can also use the Switch Portal?
