Exactly. I would like to refry it, but to do it automatically based on when it happens.
Which is not always.
So I wondered if Pitstop could flag these files?
Maybe I need to report it to support.

Re: Find a variable string of text and report it as XML
If you make an action list which selects the text (should be possible if it is at the same location), you then log it and can the refer to it later with metadata. Here is an action list. https://d.pr/i/2KZh2B+ And in Switch I have set Pitstop Server so save the log as XML and can then refer to the f...

Malformed pdf when processed with Pitstop Server but not Pitstop Pro
I have a pdf which I need to manipulate and add another pdf on top. It works in Pitstop Pro. But when the same actions are executed with Pitstop Server, then the pdf gets malformed. This is the input file: https://d.pr/f/MXa6fo+ This is the pdf I place on top: https://d.pr/f/Z02MFd+ And this is the ...

Re: Calculations with Switch private data
Perfect. Thank you very much.
I had the correct parentheses in an earlier version, but probably messed it up trying to wrap it in Number() as in the code I posted first.

Calculations with Switch private data
Hi In a flow I needed to calculate how many times a step and repeat imposition could be repeated on 965 mm. I could not get my math to work with Switch calculations, so I decided to write a script to calculate and return a new private data key with the number I needed. But it took me way to long bec...

Re: Scan barcodes (QR) and output as textfile
I have had some issues using Pitstops scan QR-code function. It did not catch all. If so, Jimmy, did you report them? It's still a good idea to give nna's PitStop technique a shot, Magnus, as it doesn't miss all QR codes. Codes may be missed for various reasons, including rotation (which can be tak...

Re: Select spot colors based on a text file
It works using RegEx. So I have made a script, which reads a text-file with a list of the spot colors separated by a newline. It is manipulated into the format "(spot1|spot2|spot3)" and set on the job as Private Data. And the Private Data is then used in the Pitstop Variable used for selec...

Re: Select spot colors based on a text file
Hi Jan
Thanks for the answer.
The problem is not to get the list to a variabel in Switch.
But more that Select Spot Color does not support to put use a Pitstop variabel as the list.

Select spot colors based on a text file
I need a good idea. I would like to be able to select all spot colors, which are listed in a text-file. This way a customer can add colors to the text-file and the action list in the Switch flow will dynamically remapped these spot colors to one spot color. But in Pitstop Pro I can not make the list...

Re: Use color picker to set background color?
May I present another solution.
Do like when TV shows vertical video on a 16:9 TV.
This action list scales the pdf to A4. https://d.pr/f/lMRKEb+
Copies the image to the background.
Scales the image non-proportinally to fit A4.
Blurs the image.
