Re: Tilia Griffin - Output error message
Hi Magnus, I tried with a file too large to fit on the substrate. No dataset attached, but the job is sent to the Problem jobs folder. If you check [Job.FailMessage], you get "Nesting session was unsuccessful, sending job to Problem jobs". So you can use this to send a warning, and also [J...

Re: Number of pages of InDesign-file
Hi Jimmy, You can use an InDesign script for this. You will probably need to output the number of pages value in an xml file, or in the name of the output file. You can convert your InDesign file to a pdf file, define a private data with [Stats.NumberOfPages], then re-inject your InDesign file (prev...

With the PDF Review Module Reporter app , you can get mail report(s) about collection(s). And there is an optional Delete button, ...

Re: Extract Private Data from Archived File
Exiftool is a great tool, but it can not be used with all kinds of files. Another solution: Gather all private data in an XML file, using the Private Data Extractor app, then archive the job + XML. The XML file can also be stored in the job folder, or you can create one with Archive Hierarchy. If yo...

Re: JS - Executes a menu command in Acrobat Pro
As far as I know, "reduce file size" is not available in Adobe Acrobat JS (ExtendScript).
You can use a PitStop Action list as Loic suggests.
There is also an app in your favorite Appstore, called Optimize PDF.
Give it a try!

Re: Hold file till flow is empty

Job sorter and spacer.png Both methods work fine, but you have to estimate the time it takes to process a job. And...
