Unique name added to Folders....Do Not Want

I assume you are using "Submit hierarchy". As you have not given an example I can only advise to experiment with "Subfolder levels" possibly in combination with one or more "Adjusted by" rules.

JDF Pickup and XSLT Transform

In the PitStop Server configurator you have a function "Select variable set" for the "Variable set" property, but this is somewhat misleading. You use it to select the variable set alright, but you also use it to create new ones, import/export, etc. "Select and manage a vari...

JDF Pickup and XSLT Transform

Hi Pat, There is a much more efficient method. It is not in the league of a true VDP application, but for some simple stuff I find it useful. Create a variable set in Switch and create as many variables as you need text fields and name them adequately. The type of variable is "Text" and it...

Pat,



were you successful in getting this to work? I am interested in seeing the line(s) of the JDF file that refer to the PDF.

Scripting Powerpoint

I stumbled over the same problem some time ago and even when trying it outside Switch with a VBS file that is run using cscript, it gives the error message: Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'objPPT.ActivePresentation.ExportAsFixedFormat' It must be a ...

applescript doesn't understand the send to single message

The correct syntax for send to single is: send to single j path search_document But you also need to do another thing: search_string and replacement_text get no values! Add two properties to the script so you can fill them in in your script element, either as an inline value or as a single-line text...

Regular Expressions

^d{6}.* is the answer for routing all jobs that start with 6 digits. The .* is important because otherwise the regular expression only matches jobs with 6 digits and nothing else. The other jobs follow "All other jobs". Then you can filter out the ones with 5 digits if still necessary. You...

How do I make a flow compress only 5Gb of files at a time ?

Mapping input folder structures to output folder stuctures is something that can be done with Submit hierarchy and Archive hierarchy (and the correct folder level settings). I suggest you start a new post and describe what you want to achieve using an example, and then the members can see how your p...

The $outfiles array contains strings with the path of the output files created by your script. However, the variable a is a File object. Push a.fsName and all will be well.

Connect All Preflight Sign Off

What you are probably missing is that you can only sign off on errors that were set to "Sign-off" in the preflight profile. Regular "Error"s cannot be signed off. That is logical. There are checks for which you want to give the user the right to overrule the error status (e.g. im...

You cannot log anything to the Switch environment as long as you are in the Indesign environment. Indesign does not write to standard output, so there is no way to catch any messages coming out of Indesign. All Switch can know about is the exit status and any error messages. If you need the messages...

How to use Acrobat's Batch Processing?

One of the things you can do is set up Acrobat to process a folder and use "Generic application" in Switch to drop files into that folder and pick them up in the output folder. If you only want to run Javascripts you can also do that with the Acrobat Configurator. What is it you want to do...
