Re: Recover Accidentally Deleted Flow
My flows does normally not change everyday. But I have a habit of once a week (or when major changes has happened to some flows) to export all flows to a folder on my system, which is included in our normal backup strategy. This way I can go back to very old flows if I need to or recover a flow wher...

Re: Location Path Metadata List
Sorry. I missed yours data was JSON.
I think my method only works with XML.

Re: Location Path Metadata List
I try to use the syntax below.
This has often helped me with a submit point when adding new fields, so the number changes for the values.
Code: Select all
[Metadata.Integer:Dataset="RollLabel",Model="XML",Path="/field-list/field[tag='TAGNAME']/value"]

Re: Discourse
Still +1 from me.
And would still mention it should be possible to migrate the existing forum.

Thanks Freddy.
I keep forgetting you can count with the XPath expressions.

Re: Set private data based on Pitstop Server log
It works as I expect.
Just have to process the pdf to have it only report inks from the trim box first, since it is this info I need.
Thank you very much for the help.

Re: Set private data based on Pitstop Server log
Thanks for this complete answer.
Your code looks at on part of the XML, but what I need to analyze is the section with "DocumentInkInfo".
Is it easy to change the path to look there?

Set private data based on Pitstop Server log
In a flow I need to change the color of a mark on the pdf based on which colors are used. So if the job contains Cyan the mark needs to be Cyan. If it does not contain Cyan but contains Magenta the mark needs to Magenta. Otherwise it needs to be Black. My thought was to have Pitstop Server report th...

Re: trimbox for many page
I have tried to use AI to create an XLST which can process the XML-report from Pitstop Server. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="html" indent=&qu...

Re: Slow checking for cutting guide by regular expression.
So a workaround could be to use the [Stats.Colorants] to route jobs, which does not have the cutter guide color. Use Pitstop to add add the text "##No cutter color guide##" outside the mediabox on page one. Route the files back into the preflight check. Then your preflight check could log ...

Re: Slow checking for cutting guide by regular expression.
Do you need the report to log the absence on each page or is it enough to know that the file does not have a cutter guide colour?

Re: Slow checking for cutting guide by regular expression.
In Switch you have the variable [Stats.Colorants] which will return all the separations in a file. You should then be able to use this variable to sort your files. This is the description in Switch: PDF: a list of the names of all colorants as they appear in Separation and DeviceN color spaces and i...

Re: String Replace
Could it work with Row2Variables if the first column is a combination of the printername and paper.
Then if you know the printer and paper, you use these 2 variables to build the lookup value for the specific printer.

Insert the 2 variables here

Re: Replacing a particular image in the pdf with different image
The only idea I have would be to think of it in terms of layers. I suspect you have Pitstop Server at your disposal. If you somehow can select all the background objects and move to a specific layer. Select the front objects and move to the own layer. Then select the image which needs to be replaced...
