Re: Change page order

You could: 1. split the PDF 2. Send page 1 to a specific folder and the rest to another folder 3. Set a Hold, that would allow only one file in a folder that we specify later 4. When 3 releases a file, use that file to inject page 1 from the folder where you saved that (based on the filename as a va...

Re: Thnink of buying switch & pit stop server

In general the configurators are only able to drive applications, that are installed on the same computer as Switch. If your imposition-software, and other applications you run, are hotfolder-aware, you could still use Switch to send files to another computer (Mac or PC) and to get the files back in...

Re: Rename PDF with regular expressions

I think you could still use Search and Replace.

Search for: _V([0-9])_ (as regular expression)
Replace with: _ (Inline value)

Re: Rename PDF with regular expressions

If what you are removing is always "_V1_" you could just use the "search and replace" in the rename configurator. Search for "_V1_" and replace with "_".

Adobe TypeKit and Switch

Hi,

Does any of you have any experience in using fonts from Adobe TypeKit and have Switch run the InDesign configurator or even InDesign Server configurator. It is my understanding, that you would have to manually activate the fonts in InDesign, which is kind of difficult in an automated workflow ;)

Re: Change color on one page only

If you want to convert only RGB on the first page, I guess what you did first would work if you just add "AND". So: Select first page Select RGB AND Convert to gray ... this will select everything that is on the first page AND is RGB. If you leave out til "AND", the second select...

Re: Separated colors into composite PDF

I have asked for this feature for a looooong time :-) It is not there yet, but rumors has it, that it will come in a future version. Don't tell anybody, but pdfTooBox has this very nice "overlay-feature" :oops:

I'm a novice on JavaScript so it's kind of trial and error :-/ originalJob is undefined so I tried activeJob and myDoc with the same result. Application.activeJob returns an "Script returned error: /tmp/SWITCH_applescript__1fe81aef:236:248: execution error: Adobe InDesign CC 2015 got an error: ...

PDF export-script to include metadata

I could need a little help on this one :-) I have created a flow, to receive xml-files via a SubmitPoint in Switch. Metadata is attached to the files in the SubmitPoint. The xml-file is then passed on and initiates the injection of a template to InDesign, that creates a PDF using the data from the x...

Re: Detecting white overprint

Which version of PitStop are you using? The check for "White lineart does not knock out" is there at least in version 12 update 3 and i version 13. I'm pretty sure, that the feature was introduced in PitStop 12.

Re: How to Duplicate Pages?

Don't think there is any way to do this with an action unless you duplicate the entire file first and then use the "add pages" to grab certain pages from one copy and paste into the other.

You could probably automate this using a workflow-tool like Switch.

Re: Filter on weekday

I'm fully aware of the different ways of counting week numbers, but since there is an ISO-standard I see no reasons not to stick to that.

Re: Filter on weekday

That's an excellent workaround to actually get the weekday. It even returns the name of the day depending on the language your system is running, so I get the names in Danish :-) I have another case, where I need to sort files on week-numbers. ISO 8601 does mention using W to retrieve the week-numbe...

Re: Switch Remote Designer

In Switch click the "Users" button and make sure to create a user with a name and password, that you remember. In the "Remote Designer" dropdown select "Full access". In the Switch Preferences check "Internal communication" "Port for Switch Designer"...
