Re: Condition - If XML contains ABC?
I am not sure it is perse simpler, but it is certainly cleaner if you use an XPath expression. What you do in the left-hand side of a condition is choose Metadata - Integer; in building the location path you choose XPath expression not XML location path which is the default. The expression is (not t...

Re: Insert metadata from email into a job
The different solution you have found is certainly better, but just for the sake of knowing about it: there is an app "TXT pickup" that allows you to convert a text file (or in this case the body of the mail) to XML. With the nice structure of the example you have shown this would work ver...

Re: Why does the Page Color Type Report report RGB as black and white?
Yes, there is a misunderstanding. On your part. I have just received feedback from Canon which confirms what I thought: "Preserve pure black" also applies to equal values of RGB. Here is the feedback: Screenshot 2024-01-23 at 15.37.54.png I'll say it again: getting a correct page color typ...

Re: Unknown character in content stream
A content stream refers to the content of a page in PDF syntax. An unknown character in the stream probably refers to a syntax error. It is impossible to tell without having the file. Can you share the file, or better still, one of the problem pages? After extracting the problem page check it to see...

Re: Variable Calculation of Text and Length
There is a logical error in the setup of the variables: Trimmed_by is not a Text (or a Number) but a Length. The value you want is not 400 but 400 mm. If you do it that way the calculation is correct. The problem you have when not using a length is that the units of your input are unknown and this c...

Re: Check if PDF is damaged
I submitted a feature request for the FastLane app to send the job along the error connection instead sending it to Problem jobs when the input file is not a valid PDF. The error connection is there and it makes for a nicer flow design.

Re: Script Expression and set action list
Unfortunately we do not (yet) have the job.getVariableAsString function in NodeJS scripting. The recommended workaround for this is to place whatever it is you need in your script expression in private data and then use that private data in your script expression. It is not perfect, but it is not di...

Re: duplicate pantone channel
Open the Color Picker in PitStop; you can do that via the PitStop Color tools or via the Actions in the Inspector in the Fill window. There you can create a new color in the Local group and you can name it the way you want. Make sure to check the box "Define as Spot Color alternate values"...

Re: Why does the Page Color Type Report report RGB as black and white?
I was a bit puzzled by the last part of your your statement: If PitStop does not know how each individual DFE changes the color content of a file, why does it interpret neutral RGB as black and white? DFEs do not do that. but not being familiar with all settings of all DFEs out there I have been ask...

Re: duplicate pantone channel
You can use the copy/paste actions: Select spot color (now one or more objects are selected) Copy Select all (this is necessary because pasting is done on the page level, not on one more objects) Paste (make sure not to move it) Select last added objects Change color Add objects to layer with name (...

Re: XPATH formatting question
It is not "Nice solution, but ...", it is "Nice solution!". Period. Using TextIndexed is the way you handle an unknown number of nodes. You can use <br> as a separator as suggested, or you could use <li> as a prefix and </li> as a postfix, and when you enclose this in the mail te...

Re: Using the current PDF page in variables?
In PitStop you cannot combine a variable with static text but when defining the value of the variable in Switch you can combine any Switch variable with static text, so it is possible.

Re: Why does the Page Color Type Report report RGB as black and white?
PitStop does not know what each and every DFE will do to modify the color content of a file. The only thing the report can tell us is what it theoretically should be ... without any additional transformations. The correct approach is that you should apply the same (or at least similar) transformatio...
