Re: Moving big files

Changing the minimum file solves the big file problem, but creates another one. I also have xml files coming into that folder, which sometimes are smaller than 1kb. If i set the submit hierachy with minimum file size 1kb, the xml files are not picked up.

Moving big files

I have a submit hierachy point to which a script copies illustrator files. 95% of the time the files are small size 10-30mb. but sometimes we have files that are up to 1gb. In those cases, switch moves the file before it has been fully copied to the folder and causes an error. When moving big files,...

Using postscript with Pitstop Server

Is it possible to convert postscript files to PDF with pitstop server?

My workflow currently is: postscript file is converted to pdf via distiller > Pitstop Server PDF2image.

Can i skip distiller and send postscript directly to Pitstop?

Acrobat closes after each process

I am using acrobat to create a jpeg from a pdf. Each time a pdf arrives, Acrobat is opened, jpeg is made and acrobat is closed. Why is acrobat closed each time? Can it be made to remain open like illustrator for example?

SwitchScriptExecutor.exe

Does each Script element has their own SwitchScriptExecutor.exe ? After testing some scripts i am left with multiple exes still running after stopping the flow. If my script activates for each incoming file separately, does this mean each time a new exe is activated? If this is the case, should i re...

Re: Can't delete top level folders created with Node

I have not tested it but I can only assume that fs.ensureDir creates the directories with a mode that does not allow them to be deleted. fs.ensureDir takes a second parameter that specifies the access mode. Try adding that with the octal value 777 (you may know that from the command chmod) which is...

Re: Send processed files to path in metadata

I can be done without a script, but you can't use S:\\Customer\\order\\Test if it is a mounted volume to the Switch server. You have to use \\MYSERVER\Customer\order\Test as the path in the Archive Hierarchy Files are not on the same volume as the switch installation. They are located on 2 differen...

If you have it the Dataset from the XML you have you specify it as \\MYSERVER\Folder\Order\jobfile
Sorry i misunderstood. I Have no script yet, i was hoping this can be done without a script. But i guess i'll have to try with a script then.

Send processed files to path in metadata

Is this possible somehow? Or should i look into writing a script for this? 1. A custom script moves files into the submit hierachy folder(ai + xml) xml also has the path to the original location of the file. 2. xml is picked up 3. Switch processes the files. 4. The processed files are moved to the o...

Re: Ai file loses color profile after processing.

We cannot use Save as to make PDFs because of our printing software's settings I do not understand that one. Are you referring to a specific custom PDF preset you have to use? In that case add it to the AI on Switch and choose it from the list. You can of course add your script to the "Save as...

Re: Ai file loses color profile after processing.

There is an Illustrator save option that determines whether or not the ICC profile should be included and the default is "false". That probably explains why saving as Illustrator loses it. This being said, you should not save the PDF with a script for the Command property, but just with t...
