I'm looking for a way to automatically send a file from a Check Point on a certain criteria without having to manually trigger it. A file arrives at a Check Point with a certain date somewhere in it's metadata. If the current date is more than five days after the date in the metadata, I would like t...

Can you not just open the layout in Griffin, change the width and height in Layout and add marks?

If it's "only" a matter of preserving the metadata you could export the metadata as xml before sending the file to the other Mac and then inject the xml again into the file, when it returns. I have done that with files being send to Zünd PrepareIt and used the free app "Inject XML&quo...

@alahode. My Acrobat is 2024.002.21005

As both Magnus and Loïc states there are better and faster ways to do this. Anyway I just tested and the conversion via Acrobat works fine for me. Switch 2024 Fall, Acrobat 2024, Mac OS 14.7.4

An ImageMagick argument like this should do what you want. Just replace the path to the source and destination profiles with whatever is relevant in you setup. "%1" -profile "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/sRGB Color Space Profile.icm" -profile &quo...

If you simply drop say 25 files into the IN folder, how do you decide which ones are number 10 and 20?

In the marks preset change the stroke color to the color you prefer and name the spot color tru-cut or whatever is needed for your cutting software.

An alternative would be to use CraftMyPDF (https://craftmypdf.com/). There is even a Switch App for that now. If you have all the needed information as metadata it should be fairly easy to set this up in CraftMyPDF.

@Magnus and Jimmy. Have you considered this automatic solution to backup your flows?

You have an option to use regular expressions to define the names. That might help to match all the names.

Since you only have PitStop Pro I think the only way is to combine the two PDFs into one and then run the "Check pages have same size".

If what you are looking for is a way to ensure that all pages in a document have the same size, you can use "Check pages have same size" from the Action list editor. You can use this several times in an action list to check media-, trim- bleed box etc. If you want to check that the pages h...
