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

There is a standard Action List "Add Bleed on a Contour 3mm". You will have to edit it. The contour to which the bleed is added is selected based on a spot color in this Action List (other methods are possible) and Thru-cut is not in there. The Action will correctly handle outside and insi...

Re: Check whether the black channel is present on all sides

Hi badmoth, ich think this will not work with PitStop. In PitStop there is no way to check if the black channel is missing. We also have the callas PDF-Toolbox, there is an easy way to check if the black channel is missing. I removed the post from this badmoth user because it was a bot. Take care w...

Re: Strange thing happening in my flow with grummets

This is what I meant. This cannot be correct because this variable must be a "Length" and not a "Number". When choosing "Length" you will also see that you can choose the units of the value that you pick up from the Metadata, in your case "Millimeters" of cour...

Re: Strange thing happening in my flow with grummets

You only answered the second part of my question.

What is the definition of the variable in the variable set?

Re: Strange thing happening in my flow with grummets

You did not answer my question.

Your action list uses the variables [Afstand ringen 10% horizontaal] and [Afstand ringen 10% vertikaal]. How is that variable defined and where does the value for that variable come from (metadata, private data, file name, database, ...)?

Re: Strange thing happening in my flow with grummets

In your Action List you define the distance between the grommets as a variable. What is the definition of the variable? And what is the input value for the variable?

Re: Process Switch Variables

In the case of something with variables, it is Switch that evaluates the input before passing it to your script. In the case of a static file, Switch does not read the file, it only gives you the path. It is your script that reads the file, so any string replacements in the file are up to your scrip...

Re: Imagemagick on Mac vs. PC

It may not apply to your use case, because you may require an image type output, but know that you can also convert images to PDF using PitStop Server. There you have an easier control over what happens with color management when you do a color conversion. When using the app in Switch you just need ...

Re: XML Pickup won't create dataset

If "XML pickup" does not work, check if the names of the files match. However, "Data with Log" already creates a dataset, so there is no need to use "XML pickup". Many people think that "Data with Log" creates 2 jobs, but that is not the case, it is a job with...

Re: moving clipping text

Do you want to do it with an Action List or interactively? If you do it interactively you can indeed have the situation that you select the text, move it, and it disappears because it falls outside of its clipping path. The solution is obvious: you have to select the text and the clipping path. Ther...
