Assemble the files into a folder separately and then assemble the two folders.

Re: Alpha fill check action list

The JPEG format does not support transparency, so a method that is based on the properties of the image will not work. What you are referring to is undoubtedly the fact that there are white pixels. Here is a conceptual way of detecting those. Run a PitStop Server Action List on the image (make sure ...

Re: SVG images

SVG does not have a page size like PDF has, so a tool that converts SVG to PDF will have to "invent" something. The most obvious choice would be to take the bounding box of all the elements, but the easiest choice is to leave it to the user to specify a size and/or to use a default. Which ...

Re: Help with Conditional Routing Based on PDF Page Size

It is almost correct, Thomas! You forgot to mention that the thickness of the lasagna sheets must be between 1mm and 5 degrees Kelvin.

Re: Split PDF based on content

Well done! Just for my understanding: the area where the number is, is only filled for each new split, right? I was thinking that there would always be a number and that the split had to happen when the number changed. In that case every page would be logged and the splitting would not work. Assumin...

Re: Split PDF based on content

You cannot detect a change in numbers from one page to another in an Action List, so this approach will not work. This is how it can work, but it will require a small script: Run PitStop Server with an Action List that uses "Select objects inside or outside region" - "Log text propert...

Re: PdfProperties

Thanks for reporting this. It does indeed seem like it is a bug in the PdfPage class. I logged it. Art boxes are not used very often, so I hope you do not suffer from this. If it is important to you and you have PitStop Server then I suggest to use the FastLane app: https://www0.enfocus.com/en/appst...

Re: How to remove everything from Yellow Separation

I have one (pedantic) remark about the use of the multiply blend mode for the 40% Y rectangle that is placed on top of the page. When there is yellow somewhere in a design on the page that has a percentage higher than 40, multiply will result in the highest value, so the yellow will not be a uniform...

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

Run a Preflight Profile with the "Inks" checkbox in the General tab checked. Alternatively, run an Action List with the Action "Gather ink info". Choose "XML" as the report format and send the result along a "Data with Log" connection. The now has a dataset th...

Re: How to remove everything from Yellow Separation

Can you be a bit more specific on The designer did some elements as duotone, and they are showing up on the yellow separation. Which colors were used in the duotone? Black and yellow? How do some elements show up on the yellow separation? Do they knock out the yellow? Can you share a (simplified) fi...

Re: Add bleed problem

@Loïc: you are right of course about the art of selection, but I wonder if the Action List Visualizer will help for the cases where the expected selection is a page object. This post is not the right place to start a discussion about my suggestion to do an implicit selection of the page for certain ...

Re: Add bleed problem

This is a classic example of not having the correct selection for the action. It is very easy to understand that: Select images Outline text does not do anything because the selected objects are not relevant for the action. As Loïc already explained, here it is basically the same thing: you cannot c...

Re: Undefined is not a function

What you have been trying to do is write a NodeJS script as if it were a legacy script, but these two environments are quite different. s.log(1, "Script loaded successfully"); becomes await flowElement.log(LogLevel.Info, "Script loaded successfully"); That is why you get the unde...
