Re: Send Mail: Define sender

I got around this by creating a VBScript in SwitchScripter which runs whenever a job arrives at the script. Here is the example code to make the script. You can add your own From, To, Cc, and Bcc addresses. It's not ideal but it does the job of being able to fake the sender's email address from Swit...

MS Word configurator

Does anyone know if the MS Word configurator supports multi-thread? I have over 1000 Word files to convert to PDF but it is taking forever in Switch.

HP Smartstream error - "Registration code is invalid"

Hi all, I keep getting an error with Smartstream Designer when I submit csv variable data in a submit point. As soon as it hits the Smartstream configurator I get the following error. If I quit InDesign and submit the data file again, the job will process normally without error. Is anyone else getti...

Re: Remove hidden files ".DS_store" from a folder

Can't you just route files with extension ".DS_Store" direct to the Assemble job as soon as they are Ungrouped? Then they won't go through pitstop.

Re: FEATURE REQUEST - Folders with Private Data

Thanks. That's what I'm doing now - changing the folder to blue - but it would be nice if the folder could change automatically to reflect that it was a junction for Private Data.

FEATURE REQUEST - Folders with Private Data

I'm starting to use "Set job Private Data" to the properties on folders in Switch 18. It would be really nice in a future release if the folder icon could change when private data is added to it, so that you can see visually in a flow where private data has been set. Could the folder icon ...

Re: Execute Command - again.

We run bat files all the time. To do this we set the Execute Command properties to run a Switch Script which in turn fires the bat file and moves the switch job to the next folder in a flow after Execute Command. The Switch Script file is set up something like this. It is invoked each time a new job...

Re: Switch.Calculcation

I my case I had to divide number of pages by 2, but also needed the number to be rounded up if the number of pages was odd. I used the following:

Code: Select all

[Switch.Calculation:Expression="round([Stats.NumberOfPages]/2)"]

Re: Sending Emails: Define Sender

Hi, I'm currently using a VBScript to create an email which defines a sender and attaches a file. Here is the code which you can paste into SwitchScripter. When a job arrives at the script in Switch, the email is sent and the job is moved to the next flow element. Feel free to use it, change the Fro...
