Re: False Positives on Transparency Preflights
Attached is an Action List that logs forms with a "real" blend mode, logs "normal" objects with a blend mode and removes the transparency group setting of pages that do not require it. Unfortunatly the action list also seems to remove transparency settings that are required: tra...

Re: False Positives on Transparency Preflights
Thanks Freddy, this was very helpful! I implemented your Action list to our standard preflight workflow. In this workflow we check for transparency when a PDF is not a PDF/X and/or contains wanted spot colors, if transparency is found we flatten the PDF before further processing. This will for sure ...

Re: Preflight Action to Detect and Fix Missing Fonts in PDFs
Hi! Here is a flow that embeds missing fonts, and if that’s not successful, it replaces them with Helvetica. Maybe this could be a starting point?
You need to change the font directory in the PitStop element settings.

Re: Assemble Job - Job identifier
I don't think you can set Number of files to 0. If you instead set Number of files to 99999999, the After N minutes have higer priority and will trigger the Assemble.

Maybe you can post a sample flow where the error occurs?

Re: Multiple flows with email receive - Leave originals on server
I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to achieve, but this is how we handle it. We use a dedicated email account solely for receiving jobs into Switch from various systems and customers. We then have one single flow using “Mail Receive (OAuth 2.0)” with: • Leave originals on server: Yes • Move to...

Re: Substring of job name to Action list fields.
There is probably a better way to do it, but my take (if I didn't have the Scripting Module) would be a two step solution using private data: Folder 1 Private data: pageNo=[Job.NameProper:Search="_(\d{3})_"] Folder 2 Private data: pageNoTrue=[Job.PrivateData:Key="pageNo",After=&q...

Re: Is 83% RGB Color Gamut Enough for Design Work?
There isn’t really a yes/no answer to this, because the question lacks some important context. Saying “83% RGB coverage” is not very meaningful on its own. 83% of which RGB color space? sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, or something else? Those spaces differ significantly in size and saturation. You can do d...

Re: Substring of job name to Action list fields.
You already have access to the number of pages in a PDF as soon as the file is picked up by a Switch flow. This information is available via the metadata variable [Stats.NumberOfPages], so there’s no real need to extract the page count from the file name unless you specifically want to. However, it’...

Re: Global Variable
"Global Switch variables" is the one most requested feature on the Switch feature request page, and it recently got marked as planned. So I suppose this will be built into Switch in an upcoming release quite soon.

Re: How to enlarge my PDF by 1 cm on each side.
Hi, there is several ways to do this. One way is to make an Action list where you add these actions: Change trim box > Resize > 10 mm left and right Change crop box > Resize > 10 mm left and right Change media box > Resize > 10 mm left and right If that does work for you, maybe you could upload a sa...

Re: Long Processing Times After Module Updates
I updated from 2024 fall to 25.11 3 days ago, and after that I also updated all apps and Pitstop Server. The upgrade process was much faster especially the "Update flows process". We have had no issues after the upgrade.

Re: Switch on Windows 11
Find alternatives to Illustrator for your workflows. What are you doing in Illustrator that is not possible in other software? The reason for this is that our color profiles don't work in save and export and we are kind of stuck with them for the time being. In my opinion, this is the issue that ne...
