Re: contact/proof form action

I have made something like this. It is done by utilizing different apps and methods to create the variable data on the pdf. Here is a rough sketch of the process. In my flow the input is a JSON-file with order-data. 1. JSON-file enters flow. 2. JSON is picked up as metadata. 3. User replaces JSON wi...

Re: Controlling PitStop Server using Command Line Interface from another Server

Could you try with a UNC-path instead of a mapped drive? So go to the server in question. Choose Network in File Explorer and navigate to the server and folder in question. Then the path could be something like "\\SERVER-NAME\SHARE-NAME\A\Acme Inc\output" I have not tried what you are doin...

Re: Tip: Document flow

Hi Loïc

No, just think it was the one color which looked most like the standard yellow.
I use some of the more different colors for other types of folders.

Tip: Document flow

This tip took me far too long to find. I have known about the "Document Flow" options from the Flow menu for a long time. In some of my more complicated flows, I set a lot of metadata on a folder, as seen in the screenshot below. I then start and stop flows to find the private data key I n...

Re: Adding action to exsiting preflight / flows

You should start with creating a flow containing your processing you need done in the sub-flow. In your case removing the overprint. Below is one of mine which converts office documents to pdf. So it needs the "Subflow - Receive" for getting files from the main flow. And end with a "S...

Re: Handling "All" Spot Color in a RIP That Misinterprets It as CMYK

Is it only for CMYK you want to do this or also any spot-colors which could be in the file?

Re: Adding action to exsiting preflight / flows

If you need to integrate a new change in many different flows, you should look into Subflow (https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/subflow). With this you could make ONE flow removing the overprint and then integrate it into different flows. Then you just need to maintain one flow with overpri...

Re: Execute command - Tesseract

Are the pdfs scans of pages or natively generated pdfs from a computer program? If it is natively generated pdfs you can extract the text with the program PDF Stripper from the Enfocus Appstore (https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/pdf-stripper). If you need to process the JPGs I would also r...

Re: Recover Accidentally Deleted Flow

My flows does normally not change everyday. But I have a habit of once a week (or when major changes has happened to some flows) to export all flows to a folder on my system, which is included in our normal backup strategy. This way I can go back to very old flows if I need to or recover a flow wher...

Re: Location Path Metadata List

I try to use the syntax below.

Code: Select all

[Metadata.Integer:Dataset="RollLabel",Model="XML",Path="/field-list/field[tag='TAGNAME']/value"]
This has often helped me with a submit point when adding new fields, so the number changes for the values.
