Re: Strange RGB color conversion behaviour

What are your preferences set to in Acrobat Preferences in the Color Management tab? Is your RGB working space set to Adobe RGB? It could be pulling the RGB profile from there if the image is untagged and you have "Use Settings from Acrobat" selected. Try changing your RGB Working space to...

Re: Job filters in Switch Portal (Filter by current user)

We have a script that changes this from private data for the same reason you're asking, but you could also pull it from email or other metadata function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job ) { var NewUser = job.getPrivateData("SubmittedBy") var SubmitEmail = job.getPrivateData("SubmitEm...

Re: HTML-table as variable in HTML-mail?

Yeah the Run Command app is great for parsing text files into private data. I use these on the Mac in the zsh shell all the time to read all the text cat %%InputFilePath%% to read just the first line head -1 %%InputFilePath%% to read everything after the first line tail -n +2 "%%InputFilePath%%...

Re: Configure switch flows to use different instances of InDesign

Hi Steve You can filter based on [Metadata.Text:Path="xmp:CreatorTool"] to find out what version of InDesign that was used to create the file, but as far as I know you can't have more than one Configurator active that points to different versions of InDesign. There is a program called Soxy...

Re: Clean up filenames from XML

I had to use Switch to help pass XML from one workflow to another and ran into the same issue. One way of doing this is to use Execute Command with sed.

Re: Combining text files with Execute command

Thank you Padawan

That was exactly what I needed. I didn't realize debug logging would show issues with Execute. stderr showed issues with how it was applying the path in %2. Changed it to point to a different file and location and it's working great now.

Combining text files with Execute command

We're receiving several .csv files from a client that need to be combined into one by adding the contents of the second file after the contents of the first. I've been trying to use cat in the Execute Command element but am having trouble getting it to work in Switch. In the Mac terminal "cat f...
