Automatic creation of hyperlinks
I'm receiving adds as single page PDF files. I need to create a hyperlink on each of these PDFs just covering the entire page. The information about the URL that should be used for the link can be supplied as metadata, as separate XML or txt or whatever is best suited. Can anybody think of a way to ...

Re: Select Images and fit to page
Andrew, again we miss "Scale selection" 

Re: Split PDF
There might be more elegant ways to do this, but I guess this would work: 1. Use Split PDF to split the file into single pages with a suffix "_index" 2. Use Job dismantler to get all these files out of the folders created by Split PDF 3. Make two connections from this folder. One that allo...

Re: Can Switch create a specific Folder Structure?
You can use the "Set hierarchy path" to create the folder structure. Set "Path segment 1" to "01-PFDs" and "Path segment 2" to "High Res" and pass the files on to an "Archive hierarchy" with the levels of subfolders set to at least 2. If yo...

Re: RGB to RGB (values!)
I don't know from which version this was introduced. All I know is, that it's there in both 12 and 13, so you'll probably need to upgrade to get this feature.

Re: Extract string from filename to variable
In order to use the information added by "Set Hierarchy Path" your output folder needs to be an Achieve hierarchy. So exchange your "Folder 6" with an Archive hierarchy and make sure to set the "Subfolder levels" to a number high enough.

Re: Extract string from filename to variable
... or for renaming you could use:
Keep segment
Act on: Filename proper
Start index: 8
End index: 0
Keep segment

Start index: 8
End index: 0

Re: RGB to RGB (values!)
In your PitStop Preferences go to "Units and Guides" and switch off "Show percentages for RGB colors"

Re: Extract string from filename to variable
If all you need do is to place the file in the right folder you could just use the "Set hierarchy path" element followed by a rename. Set hierarchy path. Path segment 1: Servername Path segment 2: Data Path segment 3: [Job.NameProper:Before="_"] Path segment 4: [Job.NameProper:Se...

Re: Insert common page to a multipage document
I think you will need to tell more specific about what you are trying to achieve. What kind of file are we talking about? Is this one file containing 1000 pages or is it an imposed sheet, where you want to step and repeat the same back on each businesscard?

Re: variable scaling
Yeah, I have been asking for a "Scale selection"-action for a long time. That would be really useful and could probably solve this too. I don't know what your proof tag should look like, but if you could do with text only, you could add a text using the "Add object"-action. In th...

Re: Portals
I really like the idea of using portals and I've been doing some testing. That makes me wonder which metadata is actually carried across a portal? I see that the information in "Job state" is still there after sending a file via a portal, but "hierarchy info" and "email addr...

Re: Inject job from Auto-manage folder
Yes, it's really annoying that you can't inject a job based on it's JobName Proper rather than the job name including the unique prefix. :oops: If there is any way you could place the files to be injected in a folder with no outgoing connection, you will be able to strip the unique name and that way...

Re: Group files with same name, different extension in a folder
Ahh, I think I know what the problem is. In your first Add Hierarchy Path you are probably adding the Jobname.proper to the hierarchy, right? Don't do that. It's af folder and will therefore already be a part of the hierarchy. Only add the date as segment 1 and nothing more.
