Switch point to create sequential numbered PDF
Hi All, I have a submit point with metadata that needs applying to a single page PDF and repeating multiple times to create a multi-page PDF. Most fields are generic but the last 2 parts specify a record count start number and how many additional pages are required. So image 'Customer A' and 'Client...

Re: Hold function

Hold function
Is it possible to use the hold function to release on a give day of the month ie 2nd Thursday?
So it's not a specific date and changes from month to month.
TIA

Re: Check for odd number of pages
FYI
Got there in the end
[Switch.Calculation:Expression="([Stats.NumberOfPages]%2)"]

[SOLVED] Check for odd number of pages
I know I can use Pitstop Server preflights to check for an odd number of pages in a document but I'm looking to keep things tidy and do it with a branch of a flow using Stats.NumberOfPages (see attached).
Do anybody know/care to share how I could do that via the scripting expression?
TIA

Re: HP Smartstream and InDesign Error
Had a similar error but managed a work-around that HP are looking at with the configurator (they did supply the latest but still failed) so see if this works: 1. Ensure Indesign is NOT running. 2. Start Switch flow/activate a flow by dropping in a file that needs processing. 3. Switch should force I...

Re: Actions & Preflights
I need only those layers merging within the flow so I can't just flatten.

HP Smartstream and multiple excel records
Hi All, I've got an excel file that has multiple records in it that I need to merge into an Illustrator or Indesign file. The tricky part is that the multiple records all need importing into a single text box resulting in a mulit-line, tab delimited box of text. Any ideas on how to get this done? An...

Added PDF blank page failure
Hi All, Within a flow I preflight a client PDF to ensure all the trim boxes are the same size. Client files continually fail as it would appear the client has added an additional blank page within Acrobat. This added page has no geometry set so my actions add to it. Has anybody come across this and ...

Re: Submit point SQL query
The RestAPI and PHP does seem like a bit of overkill for just an internal facing dashboard for submitting files.
I'll put that through as a feature request as it does appear its been asked for before and seems a basic logical flow for data.
Thanks

Submit point SQL query
I have a submit point metadata (job number in this example).
Is it possible to have the next metadata field query the SQL based on the previous job number field?
If so what would the query string look like?

split pdf to 2pp with sequential numbering
Hi All,
When using the Split PDF action to split to 2pp PDFs the count goes 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf..... 12.pdf
How do I make it sequential with leading zeros ie 001.pdf, 002.pdf, 003.pdf....012.pdf?
I've messed with _[Index] etc but that doesn't work
TIA
