I can't find it from the Phoenix Plan metad...

Re: Script to convert XML data to Excel

Yes it is! Look up Nodejs and it's packages for creating excel files. for example https://www.npmjs.com/package/exceljs

Enfocus also has some good video tutorials on their page for starting with node and Switch

PDF Performance difference between Switch servers

I have 2 Switch servers set up. When printing large PDFs, one server's performance is noticeably slower(for example, 2 minutes for a pdf on server 1 vs 9 minutes on server 2 for the same pdf). I have tried to make both server setups as identical as possible. Both have the same resources available. I...

Re: Switch Hotfolders - general question

You can use the outgoing connection of the Hotfolder to limit the types of files/folders to be processed. When using Submit hierachy for hotfolders there are also Rules you can add for processing folders (or not to process folders at all). Although in these cases the folders accidentaly moved to the...

Re: Dialog Boxes in AI

Both of those errors seem to be runtime errors which crash/fail Illustrator. Maybe look into that? If i understand correctly, even if you don't display those alerts, Illustrator will still close.

Scan files for metadata without moving them

This is currently at an idea level and since i am a beginner I thought i'll ask here, if this is even possible. I have a customer folder which has files in them. Some files (not all) have a private data tag added to them in a previous workflow. When production planning starts i would like to scan fi...

Re: Warning level connection for Illustrator element for missing fonts

Thanks! The solution i came up with is a little different. It works, but i am not sure if this is the best way. Not sure why should I separate log from the AI file as you described. First 2 Illustrator elements have "Fail jobs with unavailable fonts" set to "Yes". Both outgoing c...

Warning level connection for Illustrator element for missing fonts

I use Illustrator files that sometimes have fonts that are not available on my Switch. I want the Illustrator element to give out(and log into metadata) a warning of the missing fonts but still successfully process the file via a custom script. A few problems arise with this: 1. The illustrator elem...

If you use a script to save the file as pdf, you could first check the fonts in the script as well.
It only fails when i use a script in the Command part of the illustrator element. If i remove it, the Fail fonts script works.

Re: Check for missing fonts

If a font is not embedded in the pdf, PitStop can report that. But if the missing font in Illustrator was substituted by a default one that is correctly embedded in the pdf, PitStop can not report that. If you know the name of that default font and never use it anywhere else, you can report this wi...

Check for missing fonts

We print our PDFs on the server with Illustrator. Sometimes fonts are used that are not installed on the server. This means that the text is output to the pdf with the default font. Is there a way to identify this error with pitstop? I tried checking for embed/unembed fonts, but i don't get no error...
