Re: Gang jobs from multiple tickets

Yes, I have XML. Though it does not tell me that jobs are related. I could easily have business cards, A5's, banners and books all under the same series. Jobs in a series are have numbers like this: 1234.01 1234.02 1234.03 If these contain business cards then I'd like to get the PDF from each, merge...

Gang jobs from multiple tickets

Many jobs of many kinds arrive at Switch. Imagine I filter off the business cards and filter some more, resulting in a few folders where the size, stock, and finishing of the jobs there are suitable for ganging together. After a bit of time I release them. Can I then pull the job numbers, Merge the ...

Add Bleed and include text or vectors

I'm using the Pitstop action Add Bleed to give me a mirror of the top and bottom 70mm of my document reflected over the trim, then flipping the job horizontally so that the resulting 70mm sections are effectively rotated 180 degrees. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bwe9zC9oJj34RW11aXVpSmRvTm...

Re: Duplicate pages

We purchased and use Quite Hot Imposing with Switch and if I could talk to it with a script I would be so happy and so productive. They say it can be used that way but that they can't support you in doing so as they are not script writing people. Would I be able to use your command friend to run Qui...

How do I make Pitstop actions available in the Switch Configurator?

I sort of answered this myself since first posting * Actions are in my Pitstop Actions list - I've made them elsewhere and imported them. When I'm in Switch however, the actions do not appear. My work around is to Choose File but this leads to a messy workplace. I'd like to Select Many From Library ...

THANK YOU!!!

2.5 hours of trial error and Googling. This post explains it. So poorly documented by Enfocus.

Re: Assemble Job with no delay

What I really want is for any files dropped in to be merged. It seems this is not best practice, but is what I need in this case. If I use the 1 minute delay, this works. If I use the Ungroup method, it does not work. So I have a working solution, I just have to wait longer than I'd like. I'm a litt...

Re: Assemble Job with no delay

TheCaptain - yes, I tried the settings like that - assume issue may be as Sander raised that I'm dropping in PDFs. Sander - yes, was really hoping to have the user drop PDF files in and have the flow merge whatever came along. If I put the files in a folder and drop that in, I get the same error fr...
