As I'm more familiar with Pitstop I used it for data gathering. I need to learn how to use fastlane properly still.
But ordering preflight and actions like quickruns in Pitstop Server would be useful not only for data gathering, but for modifying the files also.
Is there a way I could achieve that?

Re: Search metadata for empty values
Glad I could help.
Just so you know, I used //field/value because only //value could count values that are not related to fields, if they exist.

Re: Search metadata for empty values
Well, you mentioned you're learning xpath. Wouldn't something like this work?
But like jan_suhr said, your problem can be solved marking the field as required.
Code: Select all
count(.//field/value[string-length(text())=0])

Order of preflight and actions in pitstop server?
So, I've been making this flow for a client and it's getting kind of complex. I basically use multiple pitstop server instances to get a bunch of data on what's on the file and turn it into a very detailed report. The problem is that the server their Switch is running is slow, and opening the file m...

Re: Problems with fonts when printing
So I actually got a very different solution, and I'm going to post it here if anyone happens to own a Oce/Canon Varioprint 6250/6320. There's an option that makes the printer convert the PDF you send to PS, then it RIPs the file again (Don't know how this is useful and why the technician left this o...

Re: Better way of identifying job groups?
Well I've been trying to make that work but it's not that helpful since the files keep waiting in the hold job groups and assemble jobs. I think the only way that could work is having a way to recieve webhook signals in those apps or usign a database value as condition for the job to complete or fai...

Re: Problems with fonts when printing
We can use this one as an example: https://we.tl/t-ke4yuBBbYG
Here's what I've got:
I made an action to change composite fonts with the font with the same name, but in simple form.

Re: Problems with fonts when printing
Follow up on that. I set up some folder in the flow so I can gather all files that has that composite font problem. I'm creating an action list that changes all fonts I find to a simple version of that font, instead of the composite version. One problem I'm facing is that the clients use UNICODE CHA...

Better way of identifying job groups?
I was wondering if there is a better way to identify job groups. We face two situations where job groups are necessary: To identify and share metadata between multiple book components, like cover and body that need some information overlap. To identify a list of files that need to be printed. I usua...

I've tried using the PDF X-4 check as well, and didn't get any errors related to fonts.
