Automating print to pdf to make separations
Hi all, Short version: I'm trying to make a PDF workflow that will take our incoming files built with spot colors and make separations automatically. We send files to a vendor to make engraving dies from files that are built with spot colors. For single color jobs, we have an action that converts th...

Re: Assemble.Jobs coming from different flows at vastly different times
EDIT: Nevermind, I found a tutorial on YouTube that may be explaining what I need into subfolders... [/quote] <snip> Then at the end, when it's time to archive the job, I would use that private data variable to "set hierarchy path", under "path segment 1". Then after that I would...

Re: Assemble.Jobs coming from different flows at vastly different times
^^Thanks. I will look into the documentation on these elements and work on constructing paths this way.
I appreciate being pointed in the right direction. If may have follow ups.

Assemble.Jobs coming from different flows at vastly different times
The prior operator of our system created a flow that uses the Assemble job command to archive processed files. This is cool and I understand how it functions pretty well. If 6 jobs come in at relatively the same time with the prefix B123456_, and these are all combined and put into folder B123456 in...

Report on Spot Colors, Logging selection (and then using variable name to access that data?)
My programming skills are limited, and I'm not sure how to call on data that is logged by certain actions. Edit: Here's my problem, much shortened: I've used The Pitstop Action "Report on Spot Colors" to log the selection of the spot colors. They all start with E. I want to select the firs...

Re: Basic sorting by stats.colorants
Oh wow, very cool. That works perfectly, and your explanation of the way the a regular expression works is one of the better ones and I actually understand that a lot more now, even though this is a very simple operation. I know lots of folks might chuckle at how easy that was, but that makes a worl...

Hi everyone, I have the simplest of workflow branches that I'm having a hard time getting around, and I'm sure there's an "easy way", but my not understanding all the commands is giving me trouble. Short description: I need to figure out how to look at the spot colors in a document and hav...
