Re: Need help generating bleed around outer + inner cutouts (PitStop Pro 25.11)

Hi there,
Just to add a quick note, verify that all paths in your cut contour are fully closed.
If any segment is open, PitStop won’t be able to generate the bleed as expected. There is an existing Action List that can help close paths if needed.

Hope this help!

Re: Safe Webhooks in Switch

Switch Mitter is really easy to use and already covers quite a few of the security points you mentioned, with the only downside being that it’s not as fast as a direct Switch webhook. If you need stronger protection on endpoints that are exposed to the internet, using a reverse proxy is usually the ...

Re: Force Release Assemble Job

Without using any additional app, it’s entirely possible to assign a common number that increases every five files, using only Switch’s basic elements. In PrivateData, you can use the following sequence: myGroupID = [Switch.Calculation:Expression="round([Switch.Counter:Width="9",Id=&q...

Re: Lock PDF

Hi Loïc, From here, we have quite a few customers who rely on PDFTK for this purpose. They typically use it either for: Proofing, by restricting permissions (allowing only viewing, but not printing or modifying the file — making it unusable for other print shops), or GDPR-related reasons, requiring ...

Re: Formating numbers rules for PageLabels

Hi AF, In the Split PDF tool, you can actually do this automatically no need to use a Rename Job after! In the Prefix / Suffix properties, you can set up some built-in variables. They add the correct number of leading 0 as needed. Note that other variables like Private Data do not work in those prop...

Re: Count Number of Jobs Processed Thru Flow

Hi, There are many options for tracking job counts in Switch, and the best choice depends on why and how you want to use those statistics. Here is a quick overview of the main approaches, listed in my personal order of preference. 1. Base Switch Function – [Switch.Counter] This is the simplest, buil...

Re: Automating variable PDF resizing with PitStop Pro / Server

Hi, What you described is actually a perfect fit for PitStop, you’ve basically outlined the sequence an Action List would follow! If you want to take it further and automate everything, you’ll need PitStop Server plus the base version of Enfocus Switch (which comes with it). You can do this manually...

Re: Process Switch Variables

Yeah, as Freddy mentioned, unfortunately Switch doesn’t offer a simple solution for that. It got me thinking, so I’ve started building the foundation for an app with a more robust approach. If that sounds interesting, feel free to reach out directly at appstore@bluewest.fr, I’d be happy to discuss y...

Re: Process Switch Variables

I think it's doable, but it will depend on how confident you are about catching the variable inside your HTML. If it’s a known list of variables in advance, it’s really easy you can catch the pattern(s) with a regex, then evaluate the result. If it’s not known in advance, you’ll need a more generic ...

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...

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.

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...
