Re: Serious Issues with PitStop Server 2018 + SWITCH

In my case I lost all action lists that were standard. All my custom profiles and action lists were still there. Luckily I only had couple of standard actions in use, most of the things are customized on my end. It was easy just to pick new "standard" actions from new configurator and I wa...

Re: Flow to catch duplicate files

I have both of these in active use You setup database in MSSql or some other database. For this you need database configurator license. When file passes, you check database if the file name exist, if not you take name of the file and write it to database. If file exist in database, you do whatever t...

Re: Flow to catch duplicate files

You could setup database to update with name of each file and check if it exist.

Re: Sort Layers by Name in PDF

Freddy, this sounds like something I could use, however I am getting message:
"App 'Split PDF layers' cannot be loaded because it is not signed correctly"
It does not load into apps.

Re: Splitting PDF files

Thing that comes to my mind is try Pdftk, but I doubt it will work.
Another thing is maybe to try to split file in two, than those two in 4, etc.. again, not sure if it would help.
If you post the file, maybe someone can try different approach?

Re: Grab mail address from PDF

How I would do it is convert PDF into txt file (I usually use Xpdf instead of Acrobat to do this job), than use Javascript to read file and pull email address, probably with Regular Expression. Once you pull this email you can set it as private data and do whatever you want with it, including sendin...

Re: Insert a page to a pdf

Not sure if it does not have variable, however there might be creative solution. From top of my head... e.g. depending on your flow and needs, in your action you could specify static name (static.pdf) and location of PDF to be inserted. Each time you need to insert different PDF, you take that diffe...

Re: Find and remove lost/stuck files

I often have files "stuck" in folder, usually before Pitstop configurator that I can not delete. If I go into task manager and kill pitstop processor, it let's me delete file from flow. You are probably having same/similar issue, not sure what is the culprit in your case. Sometimes just st...

Re: How to remove Form?

Thanks for trying Padawan. The reason being is these die files are than sent to vendor who does the actual Die for us. This vendor has some ancient equipment and files need to be perfect, without anything in them. I guess if software finds any lines even empty, it thinks it is cut. I'll run it by En...

Re: How to remove Form?

Sure, here is one example.
If you look in wireframe mode, you will see that dieline is part of a large form.

Re: Report Language not Available in SWITCH 17.1 (PitStop Element)

I would try bringing in fresh Pitstop Server Configurator, it fixed similar issue for me.
If that does not fix it it, I would try reinstalling (repair option) Pitstop Server.
If that fails, call support.
