Re: Switches node.js

Hi Jan I know the app doesn't require anything to run but the creator has supplied a sample Node.js server app which in order to run it says in the documentation that I need to run it with node.exe. Switch has node.js installed as part of its installation and within its own directory structure which...

The creator supplied a demo node.js app which does exactly what I am trying to achieve. I would like to know if its safe to use Switches installed version of node.js which is insta...

Changing Due Date

We are making the jump over to the Cloud Review from the old PDF review module but am struggling to come up with a solution for the way it works with the due date system. We can set a due date which is grabbed from our MIS but a lot of our jobs start off with a very short due date of maybe a couple ...

Re: Check if files exist inside folder, send mail if not.

Hi laurentd
I know this is an old post but I am having the same problem but I don't see an error connection on my system. I have version 4 of the Scan Hierarchy app . Was the error connection option removed?
Thanks

Merge PDFs and Bookmarks

Hi All I am trying to merge some pdfs together for proofing, then split them back afterwards and thought it would be good to add a bookmark of the filename on each file then merge them and afterwards use the split PDF pages tool to split using the bookmarks. When using the merge tool in Switch thoug...

Re: Slow checking for cutting guide by regular expression.

Hi Freddyp Thanks for that. I am aware of being able to do that in Switch but am trying to do the check so that it is reported as part of a pitstop preflight report but there is no action to just check colorants in a document in pitstop, the check always goes through every page one by one and checks...

I just need to report that the file doesn't have a cutter guide colour.

Re: Slow checking for cutting guide by regular expression.

Thanks for the reply Jimmy. What I need is to be able to report the absence of a cutter guide colour as part of the preflight report but can't see a way of doing this using [Stats.Colourants].

Slow checking for cutting guide by regular expression.

We are running a pre-flight check in Pitstop (within Switch) which checks if the document is missing a cutter guide including creases and prefs etc. We currently use select spot colour by regular expression ".*[Cc][Uu][Tt].*|.*[Dd][Ii][Ee].*|.*[Cc][Rr][Ee][Aa][Ss][Ee].*|.*[Dd][Rr][Ii][Ll][Ll].*...

Re: Report size of cutting path

Hi I am also trying to achieve this, but in a lot of cases there are multiple cutter elements on a page which are all reported separately in the log like this </StringContext> <Location page="1" minX="101.19" minY="244.537" maxX="101.728" maxY="353.566&qu...

Re: Submit a job in Switch Portal

We had an issue with files disappearing when uploading which weren't even that big. Turns out that the files were created on a Mac and had characters in the name which aren't allowed in a Windows environment (ie ? or <). If uploaded as single files, Switch removes the disallowed characters but if up...
