My first thought was that perhaps the file does not contain an XMP section because that is what the error seems to point to, but I tested it and that works correctly.

Please share the settings of the FastLane app and also which version of the app you are using.

That is not possible with PitStop Pro. I am thinking of a possible approach in Switch but it would only work if the pages are really identical at the page stream level. Is that the case for the files that you have? Can you share an example? Pages could look identical, but not be identical e.g. one p...

Text in PDF is described in terms of a piece of text that starts on an XY coordinate with a graphic state (font, color, ...). Starts on an XY coordinate implies that every line is a separate text. Has a graphic state implies that whenever something in the graphic state changes a new text segment is ...

We did something similar to report non-embedded font to the customer as well. This was done the via PitStop Sever, 1. Pitstop Action to look for non-embedded fonts. 2. Recored the font error. 3. Exported the error log 4. Picked up Log as XML 5. Set the error line XML Path as PrivateData and used it...

No need to be sorry, Jimmy, that is actually a very good question. The extensive support for functions in XPath (there is a lot more than just count) is why I often prefer working with XML datasets instead of with JSON datasets (in scripting it is the other way around). With the "JSON pickup&qu...

I am not sure it is perse simpler, but it is certainly cleaner if you use an XPath expression. What you do in the left-hand side of a condition is choose Metadata - Integer; in building the location path you choose XPath expression not XML location path which is the default. The expression is (not t...

The different solution you have found is certainly better, but just for the sake of knowing about it: there is an app "TXT pickup" that allows you to convert a text file (or in this case the body of the mail) to XML. With the nice structure of the example you have shown this would work ver...

Please share an example.

Yes, there is a misunderstanding. On your part. I have just received feedback from Canon which confirms what I thought: "Preserve pure black" also applies to equal values of RGB. Here is the feedback: Screenshot 2024-01-23 at 15.37.54.png I'll say it again: getting a correct page color typ...

A content stream refers to the content of a page in PDF syntax. An unknown character in the stream probably refers to a syntax error. It is impossible to tell without having the file. Can you share the file, or better still, one of the problem pages? After extracting the problem page check it to see...

There is a logical error in the setup of the variables: Trimmed_by is not a Text (or a Number) but a Length. The value you want is not 400 but 400 mm. If you do it that way the calculation is correct. The problem you have when not using a length is that the units of your input are unknown and this c...

I submitted a feature request for the FastLane app to send the job along the error connection instead sending it to Problem jobs when the input file is not a valid PDF. The error connection is there and it makes for a nicer flow design.

Unfortunately we do not (yet) have the job.getVariableAsString function in NodeJS scripting. The recommended workaround for this is to place whatever it is you need in your script expression in private data and then use that private data in your script expression. It is not perfect, but it is not di...

Open the Color Picker in PitStop; you can do that via the PitStop Color tools or via the Actions in the Inspector in the Fill window. There you can create a new color in the Local group and you can name it the way you want. Make sure to check the box "Define as Spot Color alternate values"...

I was a bit puzzled by the last part of your your statement: If PitStop does not know how each individual DFE changes the color content of a file, why does it interpret neutral RGB as black and white? DFEs do not do that. but not being familiar with all settings of all DFEs out there I have been ask...
