Barcodes in PSS and SWITCH

Yes - using a Barcode font add custom text via PitStop - you can even make it variable then!

Switch crashing...

Can anyone help, We are suffering with Switch crashing out every few minutes. The problem occurred while I was on holiday, so I can dismiss any changes made to it. I have had my IT Vendor look at it and they report "All I can tell you is the faulting module of the program seems to be: C:Program...

Passing Switch (XML) variables to PitStop Sever 11

That's got it Freddy - I was using "Constant" as I was trying to edit the variable set in Acrobat - when I created the action list on my local PC (wish I could edit the remote pitstop server action list!) - once I had Text with Variables, I was away!



Thanks!

Passing Switch (XML) variables to PitStop Sever 11

What I need is the syntax to pass my variables from xml in place of the variable set (or do I keep the defined variable set - in my case 2 entries, Reference and Dedication) I'm thinking it will be something like: Reference=[Metadata.Text:Path="/jobInfo/Reference",Dataset="Xml",M...

Folder Structure Using Hiearchy

Can you put in some subfolders for the other directories - and use an "include" in the links to filter the files - then individual "archive hierarchies" at the end of them?

Action list to add graphic - variable file name

Yes Dwight - I've played with those bits - but I'm struggling to see where I add the graphic name/variable - only the "Copied" option.... I shall investigate further.

Action list to add graphic - variable file name

Any thoughts - I want to add a barcode into my PDF (a unique identifier) - I can generate the barcode within my workflow just fine - and I'm thinking a Pitstop action list would be great, however - all I can do is "Add copied graphics" - but what I'd like to do is use a variable, as my fil...

Timed emails - reminders

Yes, thank you @wilsonj - strangely enough, that was the kinda thought I had while commuting home. Great minds think alike etc. I had a timeout already, so have given it a 1 hour delay, to trigger to an email and a loopback for the file into the waiting folder. Just testing now... Edit: Works like a...
