Hello, I have a PDF where I have CMYK and a Spot Colour. The Spot Colour is intended to be used for digital foil, but I need to separate the two. I can of course select all CMYK objects and delete them using an action, but the CMYK knocks-out the spot colour when viewing in output preview. When doin...

However the last part of that - the button to highligh...

Converting epoch date to human readable date

Variable folder paths

Hi guys, I have a load of hot folders that I need to use for imposition purposes, but by the looks of it we can't have variable paths in the 'folder' element on Switch. Is there a workaround? E.g I have templates such as 'Indigo 12K_210x210_SS_32pp_self_Switch', and ideally I'd like to replace the '...
