Hello everyone, is there the possibility to quit an Adobe application after a job has been completed? Examples are: a flow in which a PDF is created from InDesign or another flow in which an action is executed with Photoshop. In both cases, the programs remain open after the job is completed. Is it ...

Couple of points; Are you on the latest Switch 19 Fall? (Whatever Fall is !) There was some issue prior to that with Pitstop in switch not releasing the process. As it is when Switch is doing the PitStop work in the Progress window you should see how many files are being processed. See if closing t...

Hi Padawan, thanks for your answer. I have done a test in PitStop Server (standalone) and there are approx. 25 (!) concurrent processes. Transferring it in a simple calculation: 25 processes (PitStop) : 4 processes (Switch) = Faktor 6,25 In my first testcase there are ca. 500 PDFs with a size of 100...

Sorry, here is the value for Concurrent processing (4). I post a screenshot of the complete settings. Sorry for being in german. I hope you will understand. :? I wonder why lots of values differ from the defaults in the manual. For example "Release acquired slots after (minutes). Default should...

We have the setting "0". That was the setting after installation. All available slots should be used. Although in the manual the value "1" is given as "Default". (see https://www.enfocus.com/manuals/UserGuide/SW/19.1/home.html#en-us/common/sw/reference/r_processing.html...

We have a virtual machine (Win Server 2019) with Quad core and 16 GB RAM.

The Switch modules are Switch Core Engine, Configurator, Metadata and Switch Client Module.

I have changed the flows property "Allow advanced performance tuning" to "Yes" but with no effect.

Hello together, have you had the same experience with the performance of switch flows compared to clean PitStop Server workflows? I have found that a switch-based PDF processing flow is slower than if the same functionality is only implemented with a PitStop Server hotfolder. Example: PitStop Server...

Hello together, actually our Switch installation has no internet connection. We have done the licence activation with the offline method and it worked fine. Our Switch installation appears under "My products" in our Enfocus account, but not under ">My Appstore > My Switch". And w...

Take a look at this post: https://forum.enfocus.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3615#p10917 I solved the problem with leading zero with a regex-search/replace. Additionally I have to add a "p" at the beginning. I have put it in a Switch-"Rename"-element. Maybe it's not the smartest ...

Update:

I have solved the problem with renaming and calculation.

001.pdf -> 2.pdf
002.pdf -> 4.pdf
003.pdf -> 6.pdf

I have done a calculation on the filename (*2). But then I loose the leading zeros.

Hi Freddy, thank you so much - it works! I didn't know that "Automatic" meant the origin file number. Next I will give the PitStop Global Change a chance. But in the end we need single pages for the exchange workflow with the print supplier and in our preparation process there are differen...

Hello together, I hope someone can help me. This is my task I want to solve with Switch. A multi-page PDF (spread pages) has to be split in single pages. All pages has to be duplicated. One part has to be renamed in a sepate way as even pages, the other part has to be renamed in a separeate way as o...

Hello togehter, I hope you can help me. A multi-page PDF document is divided into individual pages. The individual documents should then be numbered consecutively. However, the numbering should start at 2 and should always be counted 2 higher. I tried to assign a start value and a count value in the...

Hi Freddy, thanks so far. We know about ImageMagick and actually realize our image conversion tasks with it (not via Switch, but with a webservice of our Digital Asset Management). But there are some issues/tasks (like layer handling and complete support of file format options) where ImageMagick has...

Hello together, one question (to the enfocus employees): which kind of license for Adobe applications do I need to install on a machine with Enfocus Switch and the configurator module to start tasks from Switch. We have a Switch installation with configurator module and make some tasks in Photoshop ...
