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...

Re: Logging of variable
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...

Logging of variable
Hi I have made a small script, which takes an URL and encodes it with "encodeURI". See code below. It fails if I try to log the encoded URL. If I do no logging it works and sets the private data correctly. I get this error: Invalid placeholders in log message at Object._0x4028cb [as _log] ...

Re: Spaces in variable URL
Hi Erik
Could you set the variable to private data?
Then use one of the apps, which can search and replace in private data, to search for space and replace with %20.
And in the e-mail insert the private data url.

Re: Number of pages of InDesign-file
We use the preview internally to preview files with Quick-look before opening. Which is why I prefer 5 pages with higher resolution instead of all pages at lower resolution.
