Re: Injecting and routing with XML - help

You need to use the XML Pickup.
How you need to setup it depends your setup.

In this example I pass both a pdf and xml to the XML pickup. Output is then a pdf where the xml now is metadata.

There are different ways for the pickup mode to work.

Re: Keep only PDF pages containing the text "ABC"

My idea would be to split the pdf.
Have an action list with "Select text containg" the variable.
Log the selection as error.
Output the errors from Pitstop Server configurator.

Re: A color conversion defect has been identified in Enfocus PitStop 25.

Glad you got it to work.
Still hope you will send the file to Enfocus, so they can investigate the error.

Re: A color conversion defect has been identified in Enfocus PitStop 25.

I have used the object browser of Pitstop Pro to look into the file. In file 222 above the image, there is a clipping path. And it seems to "hide" the image when it is converted to CMYK. I can not seem to tell why. Normally I would say it is something with overprint or transparency. But I ...

Re: A color conversion defect has been identified in Enfocus PitStop 25.

Now I see the same behavior.
How is file 222 processed after 111. Because it has a lot of paths instead of just an image.

Re: Stamping XML contents onto PDF

But rembember that the data for a variable can be any data/variable, which Switch nows on a job. And to use them you need to edit t...

Re: Stamping XML contents onto PDF

I do not know if it covers your use case.
But I have made a post about using variables all the way from creating them in Pitstop Pro to using data from Switch in the variables.

Re: Extract data from pdf from Esko ArtPro+

I have been told the file has been opened in ArtPro.
Made some changes.
Set the Printing Method and then saved.

But maybe I should just get back to the customer and ask him to confirm it.

Thanks for looking at the file.

Re: Finding halfway point from the page count and adding marks

You can use this expression: [Switch.Calculation:Expression="round([Stats.NumberOfPages]/2)"] It takes the number of pages. Divides it in half and round to 0 decimals. In this flow I have set the expression as a private data and then use that to add suffix to the files. You could also just...

Re: Finding halfway point from the page count and adding marks

I do not think that is possible without using Switch.
