Re: Are Form XObjects an issue for you?

Re: Best PitStop Server Hardware?

Alright, I'll see if I can get something submitted.
I switched out the RAM for 32gb and out of about 8500 files, the average time was 160 seconds. 151 files taking longer than 60 seconds, the max being 12000 seconds.

Best PitStop Server Hardware?

Does anyone have an idea what hardware PitStop Server uses most? Recently we've been sending a couple hundred files through per day but there will be times where files that are only 500KB will take 500 seconds to process.

Re: Transitioning to Switch from PitStop Server?

Of course Switch is much more powerful with the Metadata Module, but even without it you can use all the others Switch metadata groups to do Smart Preflight inside of Switch for PitStop Server: Job / Doc / Email / Image / IPTC / Office / Photo / Stats / Switch group, Eg Job group reference (you wil...

Transitioning to Switch from PitStop Server?

Is it not possible to use Smart Preflight with variables in the free Switch core you get access to with PitStop Server 2020? For the last couple of days I've been trying to move my PitStop Server hot folders and Smart Preflight setup over to Switch 2020 limited core. I followed directions from the K...

Problem with hidden layers

I am having an issue with hidden layers becoming visible after nesting. Currently I'm preflighting artwork with PitStop Server 2019 and nesting the artwork with Grafitroniks Prep Center v2.5.31. With PitStop I'm creating a cut path that is a stroke with just 100% Cyan and moving it to a layer named ...
