Re: Flatten Layers issue

Are you able to share a pdf before processing. A pdf of the expected result + the action list you have?

Re: pdf print to local printer

On Windows I have used a node.js script with this package https://www.npmjs.com/package/pdf-to-printer
This has worked very well sending labels to a Zebra label printer.

Re: Recycle bin v3

I agree with you, Shawn.

This is an app I will update as the absolute latest if the old behavior can not be added to the new version.

A yellow folder with lots of files is normally an error in my flows.

Re: Flatten Layers issue

Try adding the action "Split action list" after the flatten layers.
This works a little bit as save for Pitstop, when you make changes which previously made you need to save.

Recycle bin v3

Hi I would like some input from other users about the change to Recycle bin in v3. Now the Recycle bin is not a managed folder in which the files resides. The are instead "held" in the last folder before the Recycle bin element. See screenshot at bottom. In my case I will have to add new f...

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.

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

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.
