Re: Rush job not working

There is another aspect: the flow starts with Receive from Switch. The Send to Switch and Receive from Switch apps are still written in legacy code and therefore they cannot transfer the Rush setting. I have never tried using rush jobs with the Subflow and/or Flow Links apps, but these are written i...

Re: 2nd option for unzipping

Check the debug messages. There you will see the actual command that is executed. That will usually give you an indication of what went wrong. If I were to make a bet: you did not place $1 in the shell script between double quotes. On Mac there is also an unzip command (it is in /usr/bin). You could...

Re: Any ideas?

On Mac you can use "Execute command" at the beginning of the flow to "touch" the file. That updates the timestamp of the file. On Windows you can apparently do it with a variant of the copy command: copy /b filename.ext +,,

Re: Disregarding Added Effects in Resolution Checks

The background image that covers the whole page has a resolution of 147ppi. That one can be excluded based on the fact that it covers the complete page. There is also the resolution of the backgrounds of the two portraits. These have a resolution of 115ppi. They are a combination of two images on to...

Re: 2nd option for unzipping

Good job! "Execute command" is indeed quite powerful. Go to "All courses" in the Learn section on our website and search for "execute command". You will find a recording of a workshop session from August 2022 that talks about this element in somewhat more detail. Side r...

When the zip hits a folder the Mac OS launches an app that runs a shell script. The shell script does the following:

I would think that with some slight modifications you can run the shell script with "Execute command". Are you willing to share the shell script?

Re: Critical parser failure: XObject resource missing

The reason is obvious: the PDF was created by an application/producer that does not always create a correct PDF.

What is wrong with the file I can only tell after having seen it. Can it be fixed? The fact that something is missing does not sound promising, but you never know.

Re: Remap Pantone to CMYK Values

As I suspected it is related to DeviceN. Remapping a spot color to a new spot color with a certain CMYK equivalent does not work when that spot color is part of a DeviceN. You can use the following workaround. Create a new spot color in the color library with the desired CMYK equivalent. Call it PMS...

Send it via Smash (fromsmash.com) to my mail address freddyp@enfocus.com then. There must be an explanation that is related to the file.

Re: Remap Pantone to CMYK Values

I suspect different combinations of objects with just a color in Separation color space and other objects in a DeviceN color space of which one or more of the separations are PANTONE possibly mixed with process colors. Every spot color in a PDF must have an alternate color space. Perhaps the alterna...

Re: Using imagemagick in script under Mac

The error is "command not found". As it works on Windows but not on Mac I suggest to check if the magick file under /opt/homebrew is not a symbolic link or shortcut. If it is then try it with the real path. If that still does not work you will have to be a bit more specific on the error me...

Re: Using imagemagick in script under Mac

The environment in which your script is running is not the same as the one in Terminal/Command prompt. It is not a guarantee that 'magick' is a known command in that environment. Use the complete path.

You should start from here: https://www.enfocus.com/manuals/UserGui ... tions.html. There you will find what variables Switch makes available to your script and how it works with arguments.
