Just a heads up, to "flatten and rasterize" objects often increases the file size.

This issue could also stem from the blending color space, the properties of the shadow object, or RIP settings. The simplest solution might be to create a separate job specifically for the yellow plates. However, it's always interesting to dig a bit deeper, perhaps you could share a link to the PDF ...

You should be able to do this with one Hold Job element with several outgoing connections, and use "Time-of-day window" on the outgoing connections. Set the first connection to 09:59-10:00, second to 11:59-12:00 and so on. No need to use Inject Job.

I guess you missed to type out the word "paper"?

Could you provide a sample file, and maybe a screenshot of how the design element are affecting the 40% yellow tint?

Is there a timeout value for the HTTP Request app?

I'm having an issue when posting a POST request to a third party app and the processing time could exceed 2 minutes, and it seems like HTTP Request process in Switch times out.

What exact parameters do you want to check for?

Is it always JPEG files as input?

..and to delete files in the specified folder, you have a couple of options: Use File Pool Cleanup from the Folder Apps bundle. Alternatively, you can schedule the Inject Job app to insert a dummy job at a specific time (using the output connection), and then use the Inject Wildcard app to delete th...

This was a tricky one :D My idea for "send an email when the folder is empty": 1. FireStarter to repeat a dummy job (You can adjust how often you like to check the folder) 2. Inject Wildcard (Look for any file *.* in your folder. If found > discard and recycle dummy job, if not found > sen...

I would use GhostScript with the Switch app Run Command instead of using the Acrobat Pro desktop app. 1. Install GhostScript (https://www.ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html) 2. Install the Run Command app in Switch 3. Download this flow and edit the paths to your prefered CMYK ICC profile: GhostSc...

If you have Switch with the metadata module there is no need to involve PitStop in this. On a connection between two folders you just set "Include these jobs" as "Condition with variables defined". You then choose [Stats.MediaBoxWidth:Type="Defined"] Greater than [Stat...

Yes, but where can I find the resolution for a JPEG in Switch? In [Image.XResolution] and [Image.YResolution]. If not, share the image so I can investigate. It's seems like the JPEG images I trying with doesn't contain the meta data that Switch are looking for. Some JPGs works fine and other do not...

I have a flow for wallpaper-creating where I like to present the initial dimensions in a checkpoint before the next step, like this:

Jimmy wrote that [Stats.PixelXDimension] does show the correct value for JPEG, but it also shows the correct value for TIFF files. Ergo, replace [Image.ImageWidth] by [Stats.PixelXDimension] in the calculation and it will work for both image types. Yes, but where can I find the resolution for a JPE...

Yes, I installed exiftool the other day and can do it that way. I hoped there was a more straight forward solution.

Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue while trying to retrieve image dimensions from a JPEG file in Switch. I need to calculate the dimensions by dividing the pixel count by the resolution and then display the result in a Checkpoint field. For TIFF images, the following expression works: [Switch.Calculat...
