Re: Slow checking for cutting guide by regular expression.

The [Stats.Colorants] is a good approach. Checking the presence of a regular expression is easily done in a condition with variables with the operator "Matches". [Stats.Colorants] returns something like Black;All;Die;Varnish, so with a condition like this: Spot color condition.jpg true mea...

Re: XPath expression issue

As you are not using an XPath expression the option to work with "XML location path" is indeed easier. When choosing that way of working you can click your way through the structure of the XML and the XPath will build itself. For easy XMLs like the one you have that is more than good enough.

Re: Location Path Metadata List

Correct, Jimmy, your method will only work with XML but it is easy to convert a JSON to XML with "JSON pickup - Pickup result - XML".

Re: ImageMagick and Run Command issue with JPEG

The paths of the input file and output file that you tested in Terminal did not contain spaces. The paths to the backing folders in Switch will, and I think that is your problem. Place quotes around the paths (because there are already double quotes, I would first try with single quotes): '%%[Job......

Re: Scan Folder for Jobs at different Days of the week

Place 2 "Submit hierarchy" elements in the flow, one defined with a time-of-week window from Monday to Monday, and the other one from Thursday to Thursday.

Re: Set private data based on Pitstop Server log

Matthew's solution is of course perfect and for the flow design easier than what I will suggest, but here is an approach that does not use scripting for those users that do not have the scripting module. Define two pieces of private data on a folder after having run PitStop using the following XPath...

Re: Non Printing Layers Printing after Imposition

Impostrip is not a rip, it is an imposition program, and that matters. The proofers you mention have rips and for a rip it is easy to honor the printing/nonprinting setting of a layer. For an imposition program that is different. What imposition programs do is place multiple pages from multiple file...

Re: Locate Bookmark (page) and insert blank page if page number is even

(Select pages with bookmarks optionally matching Name: "54321" ) If all your top-level bookmarks start with 54321 and the lower-level do not, then you indeed have a way of filtering only the top-level ones. However, it is not with 54321 as a regular expression that it will work, but with ...

Re: Locate Bookmark (page) and insert blank page if page number is even

The order of the actions in your action list is incorrect. The operators AND/OR/NOT have to come AFTER the operands. The correct order is: Select pages with bookmarks Select even pages AND Add pages Do your documents only have top-level bookmarks, or do they form a tree structure. If the latter, it ...

Re: text on path

In the PDF format text is placed starting from an XY position with a certain graphic state (color, size, font, leading, rotation, scaling, ...) in a straight line. The text could be rotated 23.74% or stretched 10.42%, but such transformations are valid for the complete line. Note another implication...

Re: RGB Fail

I just cant figure out how to fail RGB files that the name doesn't include _ARGB in the file name. That is exactly what the flow illustrates of which I added a screenshot: PitStop separates files with RGB from files without RGB by using the output level of the outgoing connections, and then the RGB...

Re: RGB Fail

I would not let the job end up in Problem jobs, because you still want to continue with it, you just want to do different things. The first thing you do is preflight the file for RGB. If it fails, it follows the error connection out of PitStop Server into a folder, and from that folder you add 2 out...
