Forward original PDF after 5 minutes if processing is not yet complete
Hi folks, we have a time-critical process in which a large number of PDFs may have to be redistilled (Callas PDF Toolbox) in a short space of time. The TimeOut here is set to 20 minutes and cannot be changed. This is too long for the subsequent processing, the jobs then remain orphaned. I am therefo...

Re: Wait 10 minutes and search for the input name of the PDF in the output
Hi Jimmy,
that sounds like it could be the solution to our problem. Since we are currently still using Switch Version 2022 Fall, it would be necessary for us to upgrade to a newer version right away.
Thanks Jimmy & best regards, Jürgen

Wait 10 minutes and search for the input name of the PDF in the output
Hello colleagues, I have a special requirement and so far I can't find a solution that works well. A few approaches to solve the problem would be great! :) We receive various files for checking via a source folder. If these do not end up in the destination folder after 10 minutes, a warning email sh...

Find a PDF with the same name and put both in one folder
I receive thousands of TIFs from two different RIPs for comparison over a period of weeks and have to check whether they separate differently. To do this I use Callas PDF Compare after I have automatically converted the TIF to PDF. Everything is OK so far in the test. But finding the identical TIFs ...

Re: Preserve structure, delete content (Once a week)
Hi Laurent, thank you for your suggestion! The first thing I tried was the order by hierarchy. That worked great right away. Unfortunately I can't download the apps "Inject Wildcard" and "Folder Apps". I have therefore informed the support. Many thanks for this tip! As soon as I ...

Preserve structure, delete content (Once a week)
Hello Switch colleagues, I have a specific problem where I am looking for the most feasible solution. A large amount of PDF is filtered through Switch once a week, renamed and placed in a folder structure. If I create the folders as recycle bins and specify a standing time of 7 days, the Switch ID s...

Switch: sort jobs by file size
We would like to add a branch to feed PDF above a certain file size (example: 5 MB) into a separate Callas processing.
Does anyone have an idea how I can most easily reject these jobs? I think it would have to go through variables, but I can't get it to work...

Re: Input folder with time-controlled outputs
Thank you Jan Suhr for this excellent proposal. I will try thif of course.
In the meantime, however, I did another successful test.
Hi, JSlater,
the idea of a hold job was the right one. The times can now be stored for each output connection and it now works as desired.
Thank you!

Re: Input folder with time-controlled outputs
Hello, JSlater and colleagues, the idea looked so simple and good at first sight - but unfortunately it doesn't work as a distributor (or "Switch") but as a multiplier. The data remain all in the input folder and are distributed depending upon time then into the different channels. All fil...

Input folder with time-controlled outputs
Hello colleagues, I'm looking for a way to get time-controlled output options from one input folder. During the day the incoming data should go into a different workflow than at night. And once a day, at 5 o'clock in the morning, all remaining files should go to another collection folder. So I need ...

Job time control
Hi folks, in a special case we are using Switch to monitor a folder. We merge XML and PDFs and it works quite well. In the morning of the next day, however, there are still some remnants that could not be assigned. Before the workflow starts again at 9.10 am, we want to empty the inbox folder. Does ...
