I'm looking to select a string of text in PDFs that are entering a flow, and log that selected string so they are an accessible variable within Switch. I'm utilizing Switch, Pitstop Server and Pro.

I might be going crazy but I can't figure this out... I have a folder structure that is 4 folders deep, that files are submitted into and I need to route and archive them accordingly. In creating this simple flow, I originally had the system working where the variable Job.Hierarchy was providing the...

Re: Metadata Logging Data from Pitstop Report Log

Bens -- thank you very much. That was it. The v3 XML version had the data easily reported for color and black and white pages.

Create interactive PDF with hyperlinks

Is anybody familiar with creating an interactive PDF specifically with click-able hyperlinks? Ideally I'm looking for a way to automate the process so that a PDF with various web pages can become hyperlinks that would link to and open the webpage.

Thanks in advance.

Curious if there is any other idea in how to accomplish this. I am starting with a CSV file that will trigger a SmartStream Deisgn VDP config which creates a multi page/record PDF.
