Syntax Error

I'm trying to teach myself Javascript in order to better use the Scripting module. I have a question about a syntax error in my first script. I'd like to set the value of a property in a flow element with a simple script. I came up with the following: var fileStat = new FileStatistics(job.getPath())...

Access Stats.* in script

I'm trying to write my first script, which checks whether the NumberOfPages stat is divisible by four (4). I can't figure out how to get access to the stats of the file. Does anyone have a sample script I could learn from that does the check? I was going tol use modulo and return a Boolean result. T...

That's the same realization I was coming to as well. We have the scripting module as well, I just have to get more confident in script writing.

Re: XPATH formatting question

I'm using a global search of the XML, since I am not sure how many warnings will come up. I found that trying to map the specific paths gave unreliable results, since the data could change and then the paths didn't match anymore. According to w3schools XPATH tutorial, the syntax is good. "// Se...

XPATH formatting question

So, I have an email that is sent after a preflight that has the report attached and is sent to specific people. I wanted to include some of the preflight data in the body of the email. I have it mostly like I want it, but I'm stuck on a formatting issue. I want to return all warnings, which I grab w...

Re: SFTP broken since Switch 2017?

I just tested the SFTP connector on my system (Windows 2016 Server) and I am having the same issue. Filezilla connects correctly, but the SFTP connector times out every time.

Captain, did you ever get a response from Tech support?

Re: A way to check Tiff LZW compression

You're going to need Pitstop Server. You can create an action to "check image compression". Deselect all the other choices, set it to log as error. Then, set the Pitstop Server configurator to pass out the files that contain the selected compression on the Error path, all others to the Suc...

Compare spot color in file with data from XML

RE: Pitstop Server configurator Is there any way to compare the PMS colors contained in a submitted file against data supplied in an XML about the file? I would have thought it could be done with Smart Preflight, but I don't see a way to check the variable (submitted XML data) against the colors in ...
