Assemble job every other day

Any ideas on getting assemble job to grab arbitrary number of jobs every other day at a specific time (9am). Our customer wants job batches pulling in a 14 day (2 week cycle) skipping weekends. Mon, Wed, Fri, Tues, Thurs. We don't scripting engine, but if that is easier option identified we could lo...

what does this error mean? Unable to read the command: EntryPointEnvironment::Update

this is occurring after Delete Files (deleting . files-hidden if they exist). Ungrouping job folder of 5000 PDFs to send to a pitstop preflight. Seems to runthrough all job PDFs first and never moves to next element. This is a newer flow and hasn't happened with test batches of few thousand files. R...

Assuming an input PDF with the following separations: CMYK PANTONE Warm Red C UV Gloss UV Dull Embossing Foil Blue Foil Red What are the expected output PDF's?

Re: Separate Spots into Individual PDF

With Switch you could copy the file to different PitStop instances, one of them could have an action that select all objects except the ones that have the spot color you want to keep. Then it removes all those objects. Then you would have one file with Foil only. Do the same for all others. Thank y...

Re: Separate Spots into Individual PDF

Thank you for the reply Freddy, Let me clarify. I basically need separations for coating and dies. One spot color in one PDF. I'm already easily getting multiple spot colors on one layer. Like UV Gloss, UV Dull, and UV Raised on one layer called UV. I really don't need the layers, it's just my mecha...

Separate Spots into Individual PDF

Would like to have single PDF containing multiple coating and/or die spot separations, divide into individual PDFs for each process for routing to process (if needed) and send to separate vendors. I am able to do this for simple PDF with ink (cmyk, pantone) and single instances of many processes in ...

Re: Sort Job PDFs into smaller zips less than 256 MB

The exact MB size of the final zip does not need to be maximized, it just can't be larger than 256 MB. Generally the approach can be: sort PDFs into 256 MB batches and then zip each batch into whatever MB size it comes out to. These are variable data record archive batches to deliver back to a custo...

Sort Job PDFs into smaller zips less than 256 MB

I receive folders of many (up to thousands) PDFs that need sorted into 256MB or less zip archives. I'm not sure how to split or sort into 256MB groups. I started by submitting the folder as a job, upgrouping the job....but not sure where to go next. A hold based on some criteria. a sort based on som...
