Hello, We are having the unfortunate case of Switch unable to work with long filenames for our ganged layout business card files. This is something that is absolutely preventing us from laying 12 or 24 up per sheet to benefit our production costs. If anybody has encountered this issue and has been a...

Hi Jugganaut, We are having to work with this issue as well as it effects our ganged layouts in our workflows. Has anybody been able to reach out to you about this and a possible hotfix or workaround - furthermore, as to why there is a character limit in Switch to begin with? Please let us know as w...

[job.NestedName] was exactly what we were looking for! I looked over it when I saw it because I thought it changed the nested file names .

Thank you for your time! We got it all figured out now!

Hello all!

I am trying to create a flow in switch using PitStop Server that adds a watermark logo to a PDF. I do not see anything for watermarking in the preflight or action list libraries within PitStop Server. Any help is appreciated!

Thank you!

Our imposed page size is 12in x 18in (4 up on the press sheet), and the variable data gets implemented quite nicely, but the output PDF gets imposed twice. Meaning it has two sets o...
