Reorder pages in a pdf

I'm working on a flow which will output a pdf for a perfect bound brochure via SmartStream. However, in the incoming pdf file the cover is the first two pages and the last two pages and in order for the imposition to be correct I need to have the pages for the cover as the first four pages in the pd...

Read links from mail

Is this possible to do?
Switch receives an email containing URL's for (links to) files from a server.
Switch reads the URL's (links) and downloads the files.
The files are then sent to a different server.

Thanks for your input.

Re: Download a specific file from FTP

I have two other workflows that use the Metadata alongside asset pickup mode, so that is definately an option, and probably the most efficient one as well as we have a customer that will upload up to 100 files at the same time.

Send xml-file from one flow to a different flow

Is it possible to transfer an xml-file from one flow to another? I have a flow that handles incoming xml- and pdf-files that are sent to a specific e-mail address, but instead of having to add a new e-mail address for every customer we add it would be nice if it would be possible to read the informa...

Download a specific file from FTP

Is it possible to have Switch download a specific file from a specific folder on an FTP-server? I.e. an xml-file is sent to the flow by e-mail. The xml-file contains the filename of the pdf-file I need to use for that job. Or would it be better to download everything from the ftp-server and then use...

Re: HP Digital Front End JDF control V8 not working

Fist: Have you tried to change the URL to just: FILE://HPPro01-SM01/Jobs/Switch-DFE-Output-DECKS ? As far as I remember I had to set the Asset File Location and the Asset Location URL to the same folder in order for the JDF Control to work properly. In my case the Asset File Location is /Volumes/Job...

Archiving flow

We place files for incoming orders in a folder structure based on order number. These files are then added to the job created in our workflow system and once the job has been sent to print we export the finished job as a zip-file. I would like to place the zip-file in the same folder as the original...

Change page order

I have a customer sending me a pdf with x pages. Page one is the front page and pages 2-x are the back pages. Is it possible to get the front page on every odd page number and have pages 2-x on the even page numbers? The edited pdf would then be front, back 1, front, back 2, front, back 3... front, ...

Re: Failed to move job to folder

Yes, I am running Switch 13 and yes I am using safe move.

I am suspecting that we have a network issue, so I'm contemplating whether or not I should switch sub network, as we have two sub networks at work.
I may also try to disable safe move and see if that changes anything.

Re: Failed to move job to folder

Thanks Gabriel. I'll give it a try. Update: Unfortunately I still get the same error. For a while I thought it might have been a network performance issue as I noticed it took very long time to copy files from the Switch server to our file server, but even though that issue has been solved I still g...

Re: workflow_preflight

Hi Xavi. Does this look like it would work for you? http://i65.tinypic.com/hx6nmo.png This flow checks the width, height and number of pages in all incoming pdf files from any folder on the FTP-server (you can include or exclude any folder you like) and pass that information along to our sales repre...
