With the assemble job element you can set it to recognize a common value like the order number. And then you can set it to inject when it have two file with the same identifier (ordernumber). Those two file will then be sent to the outgoing connection in a folder. https://www0.enfocus.com/en/appstor...

Re: JDF Pickup - red cog

Looks like there is a conflict in Datasets. The name of the Dataset you want to create for the job seems to have the same name as an already existing dataset in the incoming PDF.

Try to change the Dataset name in the JDF-pickup tool to something else

Re: Merge PDFs and Bookmarks

It's simpler if you keep them as they are before the merge for proofing.
The PDF for proofing is just then a copy of the working files.

Re: Calculating hours between private data timestamp and current time (no scripting module)

One of the most popular apps can fix that for you

It can give you Private data for the numeric value of a datetime (down to milliseconds) and from that you can calculate the difference between two.

With the Imposition functionality in callas pdfToolbox, which is very powerful and flexible, you can create a sheet with different sizes of pages.
For example A5 card and business cards on the same sheet.

Re: How to trigger conditional flow based on file metadata

Have you tried to make two outgoing connections from one folder to two folders. Then right click on the connection and select "Include jobs/Define conditions with variables"
Then you can set up rules on what should go in that outgoing connection.

Re: Tips for efficient flow design

Make sure you have the minimum of 4 processors available for Switch.
It-guys don't know what we need multiple.

One of my customers got a virtual server with just 1 core from the It-guys.
