Thanks Andrea.
That's may make life a bit easier for me.

Update:
I can't figure out how to use Round() in my calculation.
[Switch.Calculation:Expression="Round([Stats.TrimBoxWidth]/72*25.4)"] results in the value 0 instead of the expected 90.

Code: Select all

Thank you very much.

Hello, You don't need necessarily use Javascript. You may use the built-in functions "Calculation" Aleksander The problem with the Switch Calculation is that you get atleast one decimal and HP SmartStream Designer Imposition is not able to import an imposition containing a . in the file name, i.e. ...

Is it possible to somehow use the Stat.TrimboxWidth and Stat.TrimboxHeight variables in a JavaScript for use in a calculation?
I need to somehow calculate the width and height of a pdf in millimeters without decimals and then send the result back to switch.

Thanks for the information Thomas.
I will look in to that.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me with this script. *thumbsup* When I changed the workspace from Design to Run I noticed there was an error in line 17 of the script, (Use of undefined variable 'runLength') :oops: . I added qoutes around runLength and started the flow and now the file went to the ...

I copied your code and pasted it into SwitchScripter and this time I didn't get the syntax error I got last time I had the quotes... Unfortunately the pdf is still stuck in the PDF with metadata folder, I though the job.sendToSingle was the part that would tell Switch to send the job along, but perh...

I added the code in SwitchScripter, but I had to do some modifications in order to be able to save it (syntax errors), but when I run the flow the pdf is not processed by the Script element, it just sits in the PDF with Metadata folder, so obviously there's something I have missed. Any Ideas? functi...

Aha... so instead of I should type and so on? Should I keep the " or remove them?

Ok, let's see how much I misunderstood of your comments and scripts... :lol: The XML I get looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <order> <ordernumber>P14166</ordernumber> <system>customerX</system> <products> <product> <filename>P14166_businesscard.pdf</filename> <type>businesscard...

Thank you very much for your comments and suggestions. I will look it in to it as soon as I can. Unfortunately JavaScript is still new to me, I started to learn it online about two weeks ago :D , so I need to find some time to analyze your scripts in order to understand them. Regarding the folder na...

I am using the xml pickup to embed the xml as metadata (Metadata alongside asset) in order to use the metadata to pick up the correct imposition for the job, but I don't know how to access that metadata with a Javascript or if it would be easier to get the information from the xml file. Currently th...

I'm working on a flow where I get an XML file for each PDF containing amongst other things number of ordered copies, height and width of the product. From this information I need to calculate how many sheets we need to print in order to print the ordered number of copies. As I know the sheet size I ...

The test flow that I set up looks like this: In folder -> HP SmartStream Designer Imposition -> Out folder, with additional folders for logs and errors. When dropping a pdf file in the In folder InDesign would start up and then crash sending the pdf and an xml-file to the logs folder. Today I receiv...

I'm trying to create a Switch flow that will position an incoming pdf on an imposition created by Smartstream, but even at it's simplest form, i.e. a folder for the incoming file, HP Smartstream Imposition and a folder for the output, the only result I get is InDesign crashing. I created the imposit...
