Variables as a topic comes up on the forum now and again.

If you see the last post here: viewtopic.php?p=19192&hilit=variables#p19192

I made a short video showing the process from Pitstop Pro to Switch for variables.

For a simple solution I would sort the files to in a Portrait and Landscape folder and then have a Pitstop configurator to run the action list corresponding to the orientation. Like this: Royal TSX-Flow-server03-2025-08-22 at 13.37.49@2x.jpg The trick is the connection from Collected files called Po...

Hi Robbie If the file is landscape should it the be just run the landscape action list and vice versa. Because then you could just drop the file in the flow. Have Switch find the orientation and run the correct action list based on this. And this can be achieved in a variety of ways. Are you using t...

I use the command line tool cpdf from Coherent PDF (https://www.coherentpdf.com) to do this. The incoming pdf has bookmarks. I run this command with the Run Command app: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Coherent Graphics\Cpdflib 2.7\cpdf.exe" -table-of-contents -toc-title "Indholdsfortegnelse&...

I can see Code 11 as an option in the Add Barcode in Pitstop. If you have Pitstop available.

Hi rgpepper I have struggled with this as well. My solution between Pitstop Pro on macOS and Switch with Pitstop Server on Windows has been to create a variable set database located on a shared network volume. Then create the variable set and action list in Pitstop Pro. Create a flow in Switch. Setu...

You can use variables in Pitstop Server. And these can be populated by data from Switch. Look at this webinar: https://www.youtube.com/embed/KR_AG2_f7NE And this latest one: https://learning.enfocus.com/course/view.php?id=608 But if you want to add multiple lines based on x amount of order lines you...

I do not have the database module, but have in other case used a JSON-file of an order. Then used the app "Create file from template" https://www0.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/create-file-from-template to generate a HTML. This HTML is then converted to pdf to get an order sheet. So if y...

Or use the page range in the Action Lists panel, when running the action.
Then the action can just use select all.

Chrome also stopped working for me. I have made a node.js script to solve it. It has not yet been made into a script designed for Switch. So I use by running it with the Run Command app. Unfortunately I am quite busy with finishing work before the summer holiday, so do not have time to make a write ...

I am a bit unsure about what you want to achieve.

Is the files assembled correctly, but the name of the job-folder is wrong?

What I notice is a font is missing in the files. And there are .notdef glyphs.

Is there a way in the process when ripping you can split it into segment...

Another option could be to use a variable set. Add the user the option to choose the color. Based on the choose the variable set set yes/no variables. These are used in a preflight profile to run or not run the action list for the choosen color. You could have a action list which places the eyelets,...

If it is the file size, you have the variable [Job.Size] which can be used in a rename element. For contents you could use the Run Command app. The it should be a command which outputs the contents of the file to the standard output, which then is private data that can be used to rename the file. Fo...

Glad you got it to work.
