Remove all CMY from PDF (Map to Spot Color None)

I think this can be done with an action list. I have PitStop Server but not PitStop Pro. There is an action "Remap color". Here you can select channels – Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. My thought was to map these to spot color None. If not that, then some other spot color and then map that to ...

Determine files missing from a group

I have a flow that uses Split PDF to create single page PDFs. These go through a third party app to be processed (I use the "Generic Application" element for this). Once processed the single page PDFs are regrouped and then I merge them into a single PDF again. There are occasions where on...

Erase Private Data Tag

This is difficult to explain. I have a need for this. Assume you have a folder full of files and subfolders. I route top level files to analyze. Subfolder files go elsewhere. As an example I look at top level files and tag private data, something very simple such as: ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE Afterwards...

Re: PDF Statistics - Page Boxes Not Equal - Canva

Sorry I am just now getting back to this. The file was too large to upload. But I deleted all content to get file size down. Checked again and the blank PDF still produced the pages not same size result. But the file size was still too large. Output intent added size. I removed the output intent in ...

PDF Statistics - Page Boxes Not Equal - Canva

I use this statistics feature all the time when comparing PDF page size to job specs. I had an interesting result today with a PDF created in Canva (I know, pretty awful). The stats flags the PDF as having page boxes not equal. However, looking through the PDF, all pages are the same size. I decided...

Re: Connection condition based on XML Field - no alphanumeric characters

Thank you. I tried these 4 "Does Not Match" conditions joined by AND ^.+[a-zA-Z0-9].+$ ^.+[a-zA-Z0-9]$ ^[a-zA-Z0-9].+$ ^[a-zA-Z0-9]$ which I think means: anything at beginning, followed by 1 alphanumeric, followed by anything at end anything at beginning, followed by 1 alphanumeric at the ...

Connection condition based on XML Field - no alphanumeric characters

I have an XML field "Versions". If this field contains any alphanumeric characters I do not want the job to proceed on the connection. Otherwise, proceed. I think this is possible with RegEx but with that, the option is "Matches" or "Does Not Match". I don't think I nee...

Re: Filetypes Counter Upgrade Problem

I wanted to update on this. I installed v4 today. And shortly after I was forced to roll back to version 2. I isolated one problem (out of many), but I cannot figure out what caused it. I have a Filetypes counter that counts XMLs in the job. The private data key is "xmlcount" After the sub...

Re: Filetypes Counter Upgrade Problem

Thank you! This makes sense. Yes I have instances of the element one after the other. And so these of course would default to the same dataset name, because I currently do not have one. I probably could just change these to something unique immediately after upgrading the app. I just upgraded to Swi...

Filetypes Counter Upgrade Problem

I have an interesting situation. I use FileTypes counter. A LOT. All of my production flows have the element, and then connections reference the private data from the elements further down the line. So my problem is: a few months ago, I updated from Folder Apps v2 to Folder Apps v3. For some reason ...

Learn the name of file in folder

I hope I can explain what I need. Keeping things simple, I have a PDF going into Swtch flow. The PDF is named so that I can create a private data key from the start of the name. This key is a job number. There is a folder that matches this job number exactly. So it is very easy for Switch to access ...

Re: Problem with Select Transparent Objects

Thank you. This is so bizarre. No security settings at all. I added the log selection as you suggested. It logs many objects. But, when I try to remove the objects, nothing happens. I tried something else. I added NOT after select transparent objects. The result would be removing anything that is no...
