Re: Duplicate files inside a folder Job by a certain value
Hi Thomas, I was thinking of Duplicate also, but the App acts on job (not files inside a Folder). May be I missed a behaviour with this App, I will go deeper to find if possible. I asked @SignificantAutomation also for their feedback. PS : files inside each folder are differents, only the last one ...

Re: Switch flow
Hi Robbie, In the Pitstop component, please ensure that you configure an outgoing connection of type "Data + Log". It's important to assign a unique and meaningful name to the log. By default, it is simply named "log", which could lead to conflicts if that name is already in use ...

Re: Duplicate files inside a folder Job by a certain value
Hi Stephane, You've already laid out the correct approach: Step 1: Determine how many files came in (N). Step 2: Query database to know how many files are required (M). (easy to do) Step 3: If N < M, duplicate one or more of the incoming files until the total matches M. This is all very straightforw...

Re: How to get date of file in script
Hello, I am using legacy scripting. I am a novice when it comes to scripting, especially Node.js and TypeScript. I have done lots of scripts in PowerShell. If I use Node.js, I cannot create/edit in the SwitchScripter, correct? If you’re just starting out, sticking with Node.js is totally fine, Type...

Re: Creating variables from Pitstop report xml
Using the latest versions of the Rename Job tool there's a handy new action called "Add Leading Zeros" . To make it work, you'll need to add a regular expression to find the number you want to pad in your filenames. Example filenames: 123456_toto_35.pdf 123456_tata_8.pdf Use this regex to ...

Re: How to get date of file in script
Can you clarify in which part of Switch you’re trying to achieve this, and in which language? There are 3 scripting “modes” within Switch: - Legacy scripting - NodeJS - TypeScript I’m assuming you’re working in legacy , which really shouldn’t be used anymore. In TypeScript , it should look like this...

Re: Division/extraction of JSON nodes
Hi, You can achieve this with DatasetTools . It also works with JSON and XML (even though the documentation doesn’t mention it yet, I need to update that!). In your case, the access path to the recurring node will look like this: lines/line Exemple of input : { "customer":"John Doe&qu...

Re: Assemble jobs using beginning and end of file names
Hi,
You nearly nailed it
You must use assemble job with "custom" scheme, and in identifier put this string : [Job.Name:Segment="1-23"]_[Job.Name:Segment="35-40"]

Re: Switch flow
Hi Robbie, What you’re looking for are variable sets . You’ll need to create a variable set in Switch with a Text variable inside it. Once created, add a variable to it, something like [Job.NameProper] , or whichever pattern/regex you’ll use to extract your code from the job name. After that, reopen...

Re: integrate quite impose & pitstop pro
Hi, I can see how this could be useful in Acrobat — having a one-click action, similar to Quick Run. However, I don’t think that’s realistically possible (two different editor) From Switch, though, there is an app that helps facilitate Quite Hot Imposing ( Quite helper ). Beyond that, not much else....

Re: Script Expression for dynamic Field Values
The Switch client does not support referencing other field values when defining the value of field. This means you can't dynamically set a field's value based on the value of another one One workaround is to manually create multiple child fields for each possible case and assign them the same tag.

Re: How to crop vector-based image box?
he previous action should already remove parts that are outside the selected box or clipping mask.
However, you can still run a basic set of cleanup actions to remove any leftovers:
Remove invisible data
Remove irrelevant objects
