Problem with Select Transparent Objects

I cannot seem to get this to work. When I select transparent objects, nothing is ever selected. See the screen shot. I submit a PDF with transparent objects throughout. But nothing is deleted. I must be overlooking something obvious.

Re: Linking Hot Folders for Flows

This is awesome. Thank you. I just started using Switch2Switch. It seems very simple. In what instances would the other solutions - SubFlow, or Flow Links, be preferred? It looks like Flow Links uses the channel property just like Switch2Switch.

Linking Hot Folders for Flows

I am running Switch Spring 2022 on a Mac studio running OS X Monterey. I am having a strange issue from time to time. I have a lot of flows – probably too many, and paring them down might help with this problem. But anyway – you can join flows together using hot folders. At the termination folder of...

Execute Command - curl

Please forgive me - I have a complete lack of knowledge. Working on a Mac and using Terminal. My job starts off with a url address. The url is always a pdf. When saved manually from a browser, the pdf extension is not appended. An example: http://MISapp/MI/viewreport.ashx?path=D:\MIS\Approot\Primo\D...

Defining Variable for Archive Hierarchy

This is a simple question I hope. You cannot define variables for a path using the Archive Hierarchy flow element. I am on a Mac. When writing files to a network volume, the path always begins as: /Volumes I came up with a way to include variables with Archive Hierarchy. The element uses the path as...

InDesign configurator - fail vs. error out

I am missing something basic here. In the configurator, I have "fail job with unavailable fonts" set to "yes". I sent a job through today and it failed for a missing font, "Lora.ttf". But the font is actually in the package fonts folder. If I open it in InDesign, there ...

Extract text from webpage using url as input

I am using XML Pickup. The field is a url. What I want is to go to this url and extract the text from the webpage. I thought maybe this was possible using Execute Command. Any suggestions?

Inject Job - dealing with failures

I have several flows using Inject Job. Oftentimes the job is not there to inject. Which is fine, my goal is to inject if it is there. Either condition is normal and expected - but I have no way of knowing before hand if the job to inject is there, or not. The problem is when it isn't there, it goes ...

Clarify Select All

I am trying to understand something very simple – forgive my lack of knowledge. I make action lists fairly often. To select certain items, I usually just use Select All, then follow that up with the selection that I want. With the understanding that this selects everything, then out of that makes th...

InDesign 2022

I have what I think is the latest InDesign configurator for Switch Spring 2021. As far as I can tell this does not support the newest version of InDesign. How can I find out if a newer version of the configurator has been released? I am using the Help menu, Download configurators.. and it appears mi...

Hide url in browser address bar

I am sure there is a way to do this and forgive me if it is obvious in the user manual. We have customers who want to forward our proofs to their customers and hide our identity. I can see how to create different brands on the PDF Review Module server, and I can also change the sender email address ...

Add a field to an XML file

I think this is possible but not sure how to set up. I am using XML pickup. Metadata is asset.

What I want to do is add an extra field (current date and time) and export a brand new XML, identical to the first but with this current data and time field added. How can this be done?

Re: Hide outgoing connection in PDF Review

You are absolutely right. Timeout not even visible to end user. I didn't attempt to add for fear of it showing up as a button. Thanks.
