Re: Renaming Random Filenames

Use a Counter app to generate a counter value (stored in private data), that will be incremented with each file.
Then use the Rename job element. Fixed part + counter.

Re: Force Release Assemble Job

Hi Jason, there's an app for that: Counter - Numberer
No need to assemble, and no need to wait or release jobs.

Re: PDF to Tiff

If you have PitStop Server icw Switch, you can use Enfocus PitStop Server PDF2Image. If not, you can use Execute command icw ImageMagick. But a better approach may be to reduce the number of nodes in the paths without changing the appearance. PitStop offers a “Simplify line art” action for this purp...

Re: Division/extraction of JSON nodes

You can use Variable XPath Repeater with XML datasets.
It will duplicate the job n times, and add the corresponding private data.

XML Repeater can split an XML file in several files.

Re: Reorder pages in a pdf

If you still need to import another pdf file, you can create an action list:
  • select a page (variable number)
  • delete its content (remove selection)
  • overlay pdf. Location can be fixed, or you can use a variable.
This way, no need to reorder pages.

Re: Keeping jobs apart

This is indeed a Phoenix screenshot.

AFAIK grouping is not possible with Griffin.
Unless you first group the video symbols, then use them as an artwork.
And next to the cut contour, you would also need another contour around the 8 symbols, e.g. kiss cut, to keep them as a group.

Re: Filename with file size

This is not possible with PitStop Server, because these variables are not available in PitStop Server. But you can easily do this (and a lot more) with Enfocus Switch. And, good news, if you don't have Switch yet, you can install it on the same computer as PitStop Server. Switch will find PitStop Se...

Re: Root directory of app

You can add Extra files in your app, using SwitchScripter.
Then use getPluginResourcesPath() to get the path to that folder.

Re: Assemble Jobs calculations problem

I would try with another job identifier.

Re: Inject Wildcard

You can use a regular expression for the file name, but then you can not use the [Job.NameProper] variable. To get the latest version (based on date), use the time filter: Newest n job(s). If you always have an _insert file next to the file you want to inject, and dates are the same (2 most recent f...

Re: Inject Wildcard

Just add ".pdf" after the name filter, to compare with the complete file name.
