Re: Check whether the black channel is present on all sides

Run a Preflight Profile with the "Inks" checkbox in the General tab checked. Alternatively, run an Action List with the Action "Gather ink info". Choose "XML" as the report format and send the result along a "Data with Log" connection. The now has a dataset th...

Re: "Remove PieceInfo" action not removing PieceInfo!

I have just run a "Remove metadata" with the "PieceInfo" box checked on a file of 1.6MB and it went down to 261KB. The "Minimize file size 3.0" does not remove PieceInfo: the "Remove metadata" Action in that Action List does not have the "PieceInfo" ...

Re: How to remove everything from Yellow Separation

Can you be a bit more specific on The designer did some elements as duotone, and they are showing up on the yellow separation. Which colors were used in the duotone? Black and yellow? How do some elements show up on the yellow separation? Do they knock out the yellow? Can you share a (simplified) fi...

Re: Add bleed problem

@Loïc: you are right of course about the art of selection, but I wonder if the Action List Visualizer will help for the cases where the expected selection is a page object. This post is not the right place to start a discussion about my suggestion to do an implicit selection of the page for certain ...

Re: Add bleed problem

This is a classic example of not having the correct selection for the action. It is very easy to understand that: Select images Outline text does not do anything because the selected objects are not relevant for the action. As Loïc already explained, here it is basically the same thing: you cannot c...

Re: Undefined is not a function

What you have been trying to do is write a NodeJS script as if it were a legacy script, but these two environments are quite different. s.log(1, "Script loaded successfully"); becomes await flowElement.log(LogLevel.Info, "Script loaded successfully"); That is why you get the unde...

Re: Execute Command SSH - "%1"

I am interested in learning more about what it is you are running as a remote process. I can think of two alternatives where file paths will not be a problem. The first one is to use the Switch Remote Processing API: https://www.enfocus.com/manuals/DeveloperGuide/RemoteProcessing/24/index.html This ...

Re: RGB to CMYK conversions

If it is OK to have a PDF image as a result you can do that with PitStop Server. The image file is the input. Note that the functionality of opening image files was added to PitStop Server 24.11. You can then run an action list that consists of the following steps: Select RGB images Override the col...

Re: Recycle Bin question

First of all, one of the three "Keep" properties will have to be set to something that is not 0. Then, when there are jobs in the Recycle bin and you shift-right-click on the bin icon, or on the name of the recycle bin folder in the Jobs pane, there is an option "Open in Finder/Explor...

Please report this to support: https://enfocus-community.force.com/customers/s/cases Apart from this, if the only thing you want to do is to reduce the size of images (by reducing the resolution I assume) then a much faster, much more efficient alternative is to use ImageMagick.

Re: JPEG image dimensions

Yes, but where can I find the resolution for a JPEG in Switch?
In [Image.XResolution] and [Image.YResolution]. If not, share the image so I can investigate.

In the meantime, but only in Switch, you can run a Preflight Profile that includes the details of Color in an XML report that is sent along a "Data with Log" connection. That will namely report the alternate color values for the color space Separation. You can then build a connection with ...

Re: JPEG image dimensions

Jimmy wrote that [Stats.PixelXDimension] does show the correct value for JPEG, but it also shows the correct value for TIFF files. Ergo, replace [Image.ImageWidth] by [Stats.PixelXDimension] in the calculation and it will work for both image types.

Re: Mail send with OAuth2.0 - opaque pickup

Which variables are you using? The new versions of mail apps using OAuth2.0 are written in NodeJS and unfortunately we cannot evaluate all Switch variables in that environment (yet). Private data works, so a workaround is to define all the information you need as private data keys and in the HTML te...
