Switch server sometimes crashes on acrobat configurator

I also used Acrobat before and we are moving away because of slowness. Today we use Pitstop Server or callas PDF Toolbox Server with success. Both solutions work perfectly and its a scalable solution while you'll just have one instance of Acrobat per server. What you exactly do with Acrobat and its ...

Put a PDF file back to origin folder

What I do: We submit a folder with Switch Client, then there is a property [Job.Origin] with the path you need to build the copy command to copy the file back. Have a look to the Environment class and the copy member or you might use the Process class to execute the command for copying the files. Be...

Print Email and attachment (PDF)

On Windows, the Acrobat configurator will let you print a PDF to a local or connected network printer, have a look in the Command property of the configurator. I don't know how stable it is and if you have a high number of PDF's, the Acrobat can be a bottleneck, because it will be open by every file...

Ptitstop action based on page size

Hello,



Do you like to split the pages based on the page size and save it to different PDF or do you like to execute an action in one PDF based on the size, that's not clear to me.

Compare two PDF files

We use pdfToolbox in Switch or Diffpdf. The Diffpdfc is a command line version, I haven't use in Switch. PdfToolbox Server works perf...

Populating a checkpoint metdata dropdown list with multiple values

Gabriel, I did something similar in the Submit point and fill the dropdown with a script expression: function getHfbfFtpDestination() : string { var basePath = 'D:/EnfocusSwitch/flowConfiguration/'; var xmlConfig = new Document(basePath + s.getFlowName() + '.xml'); var folderList = ''; var delimiter...

JPEG to PDF

A bit expensive, but callas PDF Toolbox Server will also be able to do the conversion.

JPEG to PDF

Photoshop will be fine if the number of images isn't really high. The application will be started for every image you're processing, this will be much more slower than the suggested solution.

Is Switch 12 buggy ?

Hi,



I made good experience with Update 2 on Windows Server 2008 R2. We use it in combination with Pitstop Server 12 and callas PDF toolbox. There are some issues with AD integration, but I'm looking forward to the next update.

Run Acrobat Preflight by Javascript

Found the reason:

this.preflight has to be replaced with $doc.preflight



The font embedding is fixed at the moment. I have to check the issue with Enfocus, it seams to be that the font subgroups are embedded in a different way as e.g. Acrobat does.
