Re: Imposing 4-up

There is an "Impose document" Action, and an Action List in the Standard section that illustrates how to use it. It is limited in functionality, but may give you the imposition you need for 1 copy. You can then use the Copy and Paste actions to create four copies.

Re: Switch Workflows: Best Practices for Handling Large PDF Batches?

Define performance issues. And what is your configuration, both Switch and the computer? And ... I suggest you take this up with your reseller to do an analysis.

Re: variables Hight and width

For the sake of clarity of the flow you may want to stick with what you have, but you can reduce to it just 1 PitStop Server element if you use "Select page by orientation" in your Action List.

Re: Remove part of a file name

That is indeed the most efficient way for your use case. For the sake of education, there is another possible approach: the app StringSplitter ( https://www0.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/stringsplitter ). This app creates private data for each part of a string based on a certain separator, unders...

Re: Set Bleed Box to .125" ONLY when objects bleed

Select objects close to the page edge
Select page if content is selected
Change boxes

As for all actions, if nothing is selected then nothing happens.

Re: Problem after splitting pages

A bleed box does not "stop" an object. The only boxes that stop objects are the crop and the media boxes. I do not think it is a problem but something that can be perfectly explained but it will take the file to be able to tell. Anyway, I think there are two possible approaches: set the cr...

Re: Faster way to add a copied graphic

Yet another possibility: create a variable set with 9 variables, one text variable with a dropdown list for all 8 options and 8 rule-based boolean variables. Define the rule-based variables in this way: if the dropdown variable is equal to x then the value is true, else it is false add all 8 copied ...

Re: Get API OAuth token using HTTP Request app

The Postman request uses "OAuth 2.0" as the authentication method, so that is also the one that you should use in Switch. Setting up OAuth 2.0 is not for the faint of heart. You need some information about the service you are connecting to: application ID, application password, authorizati...

Re: Rename file based on contents

It is clear that the first 23 characters are not a 100% solid way of combining the files because all 4 have the same first 23 characters. The obvious question: is there some other property that is common to the files that do belong together? If there was, you could concatenate both properties (the f...

Re: Rename file based on contents

You have described your input, but not your desired output, at least not in a clear way. There is a contradiction in the description: you mention positions 1-23, but in the screenshot the value is 1-15. There is something puzzling in the description: "This works fine" suggests it works fin...

Re: Get API OAuth token using HTTP Request app

In Postman I do not find the authorization "Send as Basic Auth header". There is "Basic Auth", but that requires a username and a password and is probably not what you need. I suggest that you export the Postman settings as a JSON and upload it here (you may have to zip it). It i...

Re: Assemble jobs into sub-folders

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