Re: Thumbnail in the seem of the banner

I see that you paste the thumbnail at the end of the action list: Select page 1, Paste objects from clipboard. That is indeed not going to paste on page 1 in a multipage document. It is important to realize that PitStop by default runs through the document from the beginning to the end without going...

Re: Warning in messages of Switch

In regards to debugging, is it possible to run the debug in Visual Studio Code on my mac, when Switch is running in my Windows server? Remote debugging in VSC is possible ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/remote-debugging?view=vs-2022 ) but I have never tried it. You will ha...

Re: Inject Folder Name Issue

Strange. However, if injecting one folder after the other works well I suggest to place a "Hold job" in front of the "Inject job". On the outgoing connection of "Hold job" there is a property "Folder constraint". If you set that to 1 job then "Hold job&qu...

Re: Renaming A Folder the same as the file name

I can only ask what rhd_ole was asking for, just a bit rephrased: as of where in the flow is the name wrong? Is it only at the end of the flow (Archive hierarchy) that the name is wrong, or is it somewhere along the route and at what point exactly? If you are OK with that, it is better to export the...

Re: Save embedded preflight profile from Certified PDF

Open the CertifiedPDF file in Acrobat, go to the "Certified PDF" menu and open the Certified PDF dialog: there is a "Certified Preflight Profile Comparison" section in there. I sounds like that is what you are looking for.

Re: Warning in messages of Switch

The best way to troubleshoot this is to start a debugging session. As you step through the code you should see what triggers the error. In this case it is pretty easy: you have 2 job.log statements that do not have an await. I would like to make two side remarks. Everybody has their own coding style...

Re: Select 6mm Dots and add key line

When you reply to a message you will see two tabs below the editing box: Options and Attachments. Once you have added the file you can place it inline. Thanks for sharing!

There is a v2 of FastLane. It is not mentioned in the what's new but there was a bug fix related to the XMP property. Please try v2 and let us know.

Re: Sort Job Folder By Name

What you neglected to mention was that your screenshot comes from the outgoing connection of a "Submit hierarchy". I have to admit I had to search a bit to see what you were talking about. What this and also Magnus's reply illustrate is that you are using a feature of "Submit hierarch...

Re: Files modified by Pisttop Error when processed again

My first thought was that perhaps the file does not contain an XMP section because that is what the error seems to point to, but I tested it and that works correctly.

Please share the settings of the FastLane app and also which version of the app you are using.

Re: Pages duplicates

That is not possible with PitStop Pro. I am thinking of a possible approach in Switch but it would only work if the pages are really identical at the page stream level. Is that the case for the files that you have? Can you share an example? Pages could look identical, but not be identical e.g. one p...

Re: 2 columns into one

Text in PDF is described in terms of a piece of text that starts on an XY coordinate with a graphic state (font, color, ...). Starts on an XY coordinate implies that every line is a separate text. Has a graphic state implies that whenever something in the graphic state changes a new text segment is ...

Re: Check if FONT exists in PDF or not

We did something similar to report non-embedded font to the customer as well. This was done the via PitStop Sever, 1. Pitstop Action to look for non-embedded fonts. 2. Recored the font error. 3. Exported the error log 4. Picked up Log as XML 5. Set the error line XML Path as PrivateData and used it...

Re: Condition - If XML contains ABC?

No need to be sorry, Jimmy, that is actually a very good question. The extensive support for functions in XPath (there is a lot more than just count) is why I often prefer working with XML datasets instead of with JSON datasets (in scripting it is the other way around). With the "JSON pickup&qu...
