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 ...

For completeness here is my finished script async function jobArrived(s: Switch, flowElement: FlowElement, job: Job) { // Use parseFloat() set the variable as a number, so math works let ImposeRoll: number = parseFloat(await job.getPrivateData("ImposeRoll")); let BleedRoll: number = parseF...

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.

I have tried to clean up the code: let ImposeRoll: number = parseFloat(await job.getPrivateData("ImposeRoll")); let BleedRoll: number = parseFloat(await job.getPrivateData("BleedRoll")); let Width: number = parseFloat(await job.getPrivateData("Width")); let ImposeRollPr...

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...

For this purpose I use the free program FlowSpy.

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...

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...

I will try the regex method and report back

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.

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...

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.

Thanks Magnus for the example.
In my current use case I will use the other idea with scaling the content, which overlaps the media box.

I have an action list, which places a string (variable from Switch) onto the first page. If the number of characters of the string is larger than 90 I would like to set the font size to another value. And since Loic Agnon showed the conditional variables in Pitstop I would like to use them to set th...

Are you allowed to rename the files? Maybe temporarily. Then you could add the date/time as prefix. Use the app File sorter and spacer to sort and release. https://cdn-www.enfocus.com/sites/default/files/media/images/appstore/product_documentation/1666186900/documentation_-_folder_apps_v4_english.pdf
