Re: Writing a Text File via (Java) Scripting

Hi, I have a script package, which does this. You can download it here: https://d.pr/f/xrVmAx+ It writes a UTF-8 file with the content you provide in the variables text-box. Out is the new file and the original file. https://d.pr/i/qYHZWr+ The code probably could be better, so if any of the coding w...

Re: Can I pass this Illustrator dialog?

As for my question, then I am more interested in how you run a preflight using Acrobat.
It still has some things, which Pitstop does not seem to have.

Re: Can I pass this Illustrator dialog?

Hi saitok

I am curious on how you run the fixup with JavaScript in Acrobat?

I have never gotten that to work.

@Arthur
Thanks. But I do not have Quite Imposing for my server.
It needs to be done automatic.

Re: Add appendix pdf after every page of letter pdf

So I found a solution based on a Acrobat javascript. Now I use the Acrobat configurator. This is the script. /* Add blank page for script to work */ $doc.newPage(0, 100, 100); /* add page after each nth page */ var n = 1; for (var i=$doc.numPages-1; i>0; i--) { if ((i+1) % n == 0) { $doc.insertPages...

Add appendix pdf after every page of letter pdf

I have a flow, where I need to insert an appendix pdf after every page of a letter pdf. The number of pages in the appendix pdf is not the same for each run. The number of recipients in the letter pdf is also variable. My solution now is to split the letter pdf. Using the command line tool PDFTK I i...

Re: Ungroup timeout

@Zoranj for merging pdf-files I have used CPDF (https://community.coherentpdf.com) and PDFTK Server (https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/). Both are available for Windows.

Re: Ungroup timeout

I have just noticed a slow ungroup on my system. And it seems to be if my flow contains a submit point. Then Switch generates a thumbnail for each new pdf-file and that is time consuming. On my system (16 cores, 212 GB of RAM, SSD for Switch dataroot) it took about 40 minutes for 500 pdf-files. I ha...

Re: Release a certain number of files at the time at a specific interval

On my Windows installation of Switch I use CSV Splitter https://download.cnet.com/CSV-Splitter/ ... 10188.html to split csv-files based on certain number of lines.
Maybe this is easier for your flow to split the CSV in 50 lines.

Submit point and metadata

Hi

I have looked at the options for the submit point and metadata, but I can not find an option for a radio button with the option to choose more than one item.
Has anybody solved this somehow?

Re: Split Multiple Page PDF

Why not use the "Split PDF" configurator of Switch? Because in some cases you need to split a file, where it differs in the same file on which page count you want to split. Like a pdf containing many invoices. One invoice is 1 page, another 2 and maybe 3 pages. But the first page always h...

Re: Make flow itself take same file everytime on it's own?

It is always a good idea to check to option for a connection. Because sometimes the options you want is on the connection and not the configurator.
