Re: Naming and keeping track of jobs that have been imposed

Totally agree with Magnus, When I was working in print-on-demand (POD), I found with my press operator that the best aproach is to made sure that file names reflected the production order, to make processing easier on press software. For example, I used a structured naming format like this: [TAG]_[Y...

Re: Imposition in Switch

As an addition, since this topic was bump. At Bluewest, we built a module called Quite Helper to make working with Quite Hot Imposing in Switch a whole lot easier. It was developed with Quite Software’s blessing and is available on the Appstore. Instead of manually editing XML, Quite Helper gives yo...

Re: Converting Single Line Font To Vector

Hi, You can convert text to outlines using a single action (vectorize text), but this won't split a letter like "T" into separate elements. If I understand correctly, you're looking to decompose letters like this: T → | and _ V → \ and / q → c and | d → c and | I'm not deeply familiar with...

Re: Settings from Submit Point don't work in Checkpoint

This functionality is clumsy, especially if the submit and check actions are part of different flows. It may also lead to data loss if a loop is executed around the checkpoint, if you mixup the dataset name. It’s not the quickest method, but I’ve learned the hard way that the safest approach is to r...

Re: Workgroup Manager - Sort Action lists

By default, I believe they are sorted by date of creation.
However, you can change the sorting behavior by clicking the magnifying glass icon in the search field.
This opens a menu where you can select the "Keep Sorted" option to apply alphabetical order.

Re: Do you understand what I mean?

In the flow properties, you can enable the "Show Advanced Properties" option. Once activated, certain elements (pitstop for example) within the flow will display additional configuration fields, such as: Number of Slots – Defines the maximum number of tasks that can run concurrently for th...

Re: Timeout for Check Point

Hi, Your best approach would be to run it inside a loop with a connection timeout on the checkpoint. Within this loop, check whether the criteria are met. If they are, break the loop; otherwise, continue checking from the last checkpoint. Keep in mind that depending on the number of files and the fr...

Re: Attach file to PDF

Hi; We've had this feature in development for quite some time for a Switch app, but it was sidelined due to other project priorities. It's still in the pipeline, just not yet released. If this feature would help solve a problem for you (and you're using Switch), we’d be happy to prioritize it and pu...

Re: Help with Conditional Routing Based on PDF Page Size

I suspect this kind of behavior is a tactic used by some shady AI companies to scrape our responses and quietly use them to train and improve their own models without consent. The best way to counter this is to respond with complete gibberish or absurd nonsense—something utterly unusable for trainin...

Re: Merge Excel files

Hi there, You might want to take a look at the File Fusion app: https://www0.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/file-fusion. While it's not designed exclusively for CSVs, it could potentially be used to merge them—provided the files have no headers and the columns are aligned correctly. Alternatively, ...

No !
But can callas read 2 different datasets in the same pdf ?
I don't understand the problem here, you can pick value from two dataset and make calculation from them in switch, so what's blocking you with fastlane?

Re: Privatedata from filename

Hi! The script you're currently using has been written in a legacy format that will soon no longer be supported by Enfocus. I strongly advise rewriting the script in Node.js/TypeScript. Unfortunately, GPT-based assistants won't provide much support for Enfocus-specific functions. However, if you wan...

Re: Thanks for the help!

I believe that Winrar and 7zip have a such function

Code: Select all
