Re: Calculations with Switch private data
I have tried to clean up the code: let ImposeRoll: number = parseFloat(await job.getPrivateData("ImposeRoll")); let BleedRoll: number = parseFloat(await job.getPrivateData("BleedRoll")); let Width: number = parseFloat(await job.getPrivateData("Width")); let ImposeRollPr...

Calculations with Switch private data
Hi In a flow I needed to calculate how many times a step and repeat imposition could be repeated on 965 mm. I could not get my math to work with Switch calculations, so I decided to write a script to calculate and return a new private data key with the number I needed. But it took me way to long bec...

Re: Scan barcodes (QR) and output as textfile
I have had some issues using Pitstops scan QR-code function. It did not catch all. If so, Jimmy, did you report them? It's still a good idea to give nna's PitStop technique a shot, Magnus, as it doesn't miss all QR codes. Codes may be missed for various reasons, including rotation (which can be tak...

Re: Select spot colors based on a text file
It works using RegEx. So I have made a script, which reads a text-file with a list of the spot colors separated by a newline. It is manipulated into the format "(spot1|spot2|spot3)" and set on the job as Private Data. And the Private Data is then used in the Pitstop Variable used for selec...

Re: Select spot colors based on a text file
Hi Jan
Thanks for the answer.
The problem is not to get the list to a variabel in Switch.
But more that Select Spot Color does not support to put use a Pitstop variabel as the list.

Select spot colors based on a text file
I need a good idea. I would like to be able to select all spot colors, which are listed in a text-file. This way a customer can add colors to the text-file and the action list in the Switch flow will dynamically remapped these spot colors to one spot color. But in Pitstop Pro I can not make the list...

Re: Use color picker to set background color?
May I present another solution.
Do like when TV shows vertical video on a 16:9 TV.
This action list scales the pdf to A4. https://d.pr/f/lMRKEb+
Copies the image to the background.
Scales the image non-proportinally to fit A4.
Blurs the image.

Re: Length of variable
Thanks Magnus for the example.
In my current use case I will use the other idea with scaling the content, which overlaps the media box.

Re: Length of variable
I have an action list, which places a string (variable from Switch) onto the first page. If the number of characters of the string is larger than 90 I would like to set the font size to another value. And since Loic Agnon showed the conditional variables in Pitstop I would like to use them to set th...

Re: Release files sorted by time stamp
Are you allowed to rename the files? Maybe temporarily. Then you could add the date/time as prefix. Use the app File sorter and spacer to sort and release. https://cdn-www.enfocus.com/sites/default/files/media/images/appstore/product_documentation/1666186900/documentation_-_folder_apps_v4_english.pdf

Length of variable
I can not seem to find out how to get the length (number of characters) of a variable.
Is there a built in way in Switch to do this?
Or do I have to use scripting?

Re: Logging of variable
So you can get around this by using a variable: await job.log(LogLevel.Info,'Encoded URL: "%1"',[URLtoEncode]); Thanks patej. This method works. await job.log(LogLevel.Info,'Encoded URL: "%1"',[encodedURL]); https://d.pr/i/qIgkzv+ So now the finished code is like this: async fun...

As a workaround you can do the following: let replacements = ["%1", "%2", "%3", "%4", "%5", "%6", "%7", "%8", "%9"]; await job.log(LogLevel.Info, encodedURL, replacements); I tried to add this code to the scri...
