Make PDF fully PDF/A compliant

Hi all I'm using a PitStop Preflight in Switch to make PDFs PDF/A-1b compliant. But when I preflight them with Acrobat afterwards, the PDFs aren't fully compliant. They're missing the PDF/A entry as well as some sort of XMP property error. Is there a way to make a fully PDF/A complaint PDF with PitS...

Re: Replace low res QR code

Your question put me on the right track, Freddy! I get the value from a PitStop report that is attached as a dataset in Switch. Meaning, I can skip the whole Private data business and just directly add the QR VCARD value to a variable set.

Replace low res QR code

Hi all I'm trying to create a small Switch flow with PitStop Server where I can put in a PDF with a low resolution QR code and replace that with one created by PitStop Server. I've managed to read the QR code and am able to pass it to Switch through the report. I then save the contents of the QR cod...

Find all instances where "flow stage" is used

Hi all Since the ability to set a flow stage on a folder has been "discontinued" in Spring 2022: Is there a way to quickly find instances where a value has been set in "Flow stage"? I have a customer who uses the client module and has hundreds of folders in their flows. And I'd l...

Configure large amounts of conditions with variables

Hi all! I've got to adapt an extensive Excel sheet into a Switch workflow. I've got over 500 product IDs I need to match to one of two status. Could be 0 and 1 or whatever, doesn't really matter, I just need to separate them. I think configuring these in conditions with variables one after the other...

Re: PitStop Report within a checkpoint does not link to PDF

I'd like to revive this thread since I'm wondering the same thing. I preflight a file and there's an outgoing connection for data and one for a PDF log. Both land in the same folder afterwards. But the little magnifying glasses aren't linked to the original file. Is this a bug or can I set something...

Re: ImageMagick – cannot send job

As I'm still looking to solve this problem, I tried a few things. This is my current error with outcode 1. stderr: convert: unable to open image '"C:\Users\publishing\AppData\Roaming\Enfocus\Switch': Invalid argument @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3533.; convert: unable to open image 'Server\backing\E...

Re: ImageMagick – cannot send job

Thanks! Unfortunately, this throws an outcode 4 with the message that -density is an invalid parameter. I see in the debug messages that even without the PATH variable, Switch gets the correct application paths. I've now opted to using the setup in my initial post here and that works as expected. Bu...

Re: ImageMagick – cannot send job

I think I answered it in my previous reply: the PATH variable should include the location of Ghostscript (and also ImageMagick of course). Because the conversion seems to work according to the messages (no FailedToExecuteCommand), I think it's something else. Either way, since I'm not well versed i...

Re: ImageMagick – cannot send job

I'm reviving this thread because I'm experiencing the issue again on a different installation (Windows 10 Enterprise). Ghostscript is installed and the outcode is 0, so I have to assume the conversion works. If I run the command from Command prompt, it works as expected. I can convert PDFs to JPG, E...

Using regex' lookarounds in Switch

I've been wondering this for a while: Is there a way to use lookaheads and lookbehinds in Switch? If not: Are there workarounds? And is it planned to be supported at some point in the future?

Re: Assemble job based on hierarchy info

I had a somewhat similar case the other day. I ended up writing my condition to a Private Data—the size of the PDFs in my case—then set the assembly scheme to "Custom", set the Private Data as the Job identifier and set the number of files quite high and the After N minutes to one. So the ...

Re: Scan barcodes (QR) and output as textfile

There's an action list element in PitStop called "check barcodes" (or something along those lines, my installation is in German) where you can check for a QR code and its contents. You could then use the free app "Create text file" to get the contents of the QR codes stored in th...
