It's easier to export the dataset to XML with the Export Metadata element and then use Saxon and XSLT to construct the XML-file you want.


Just my $0.02

Yes I had it set to job.sendToSingle(tempfile)

But there were some other stuff going on there and Jonas at the support helped me get it to work, even for him it was a challenge

Thanks

Well, working some more with this flow and script there is still a problem with the resulting PDF that PDFtk generates from the Shellscript. Switch will not write the resulting file to the output folder. I get no errors in the log, it just don't output the file. I suspect that there is some permissi...

Thanks that solved it!

I have made a script that creates a ShellScript file with commands for PDFToolkit. In this way I can use SwitchVariables for the PDFTK command. My problem is that this .sh file that Switch generates will not run, I get error [255] in Switch from the ExecuteCommand. If I try to run the same script in...

Try this

Thanks Loic, that sounds like a good idea. Gabriel, the input to the flow is one Excel-file with a number of records. Each record becomes a single XML that then is imported to InDesign to produce single PDF's. The number of single PDF's can be different from each Excel-file and they later has to be ...

ImageMagick is commonly used in Switch by many users. You also normally get GhostScript installed together with ImageMagick and that is the best way to convert PDF's to imageformats. The PDF will then be "Ripped" by GhostScript and you will have a lot of options on how the image should be ...

I working on a flow were there are a number of files in a job that needs to be assembled for a PDF-merge. The number of files varies since they are created by importing XML to InDesign. Each job has a different number of files. How can I get the number of files? I was thinking of some kind of counte...

You can use a command line tool named "qrencode" that you run in the Execute Command element. You need a proper formated textfile for qrencode to process and it will save an .eps as a QR Code.

You will find it here: https://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/

For your Information PDFToolkit doesn't work with El Capitan, Apple has done some changes that affects PDFToolkit. If you have PDFTK in your flow the files will stop in the folder before the Execute Command element and sort of hangs. To close the flow you have to kill the PDFTK in Activity Monitor. ...

Thanks Ben,

Maybe this should go in the scripting group. I'm trying to run an Executable Command configurator with a Python script that will convert .CSV to .XML In this Python script it call for the input file and the output file. If I hard code that to file and paths it works running in Switch. But if I repla...

I found it. I hadn't specified the Var InputJob.



Now it works.

I tried those two lines and with the "job.sendToSingle(InputJob);" the Script doesn't execute. The input job file is waiting in the folder before the Script Element. Here is my script // Is invoked each time a new job arrives in one of the input folders for the flow element. // The newly a...
