Re: Switch Messaging Filters - User Feedback Required!

I use filters mostly to see what went wrong with a specific job. Sometimes I filter on a specific flow to see what is going on in that flow. Unfortunately with 50+ flows running and lots of jobs the last 1000 messages is fairly useless as it most of the time only lets me see what has happened the la...

Re: File renaming

In the "Rename Job" element you have the option "Reduce character set" in it you can set the "Allowed character set" to "Portable ASCII" and that will give what you want. It will replace å, ä and ö with Underscore, Space or remove the not allowed characters. ...

Re: Release files at a certain time

I will submit files to the flow throughout the day, but I don't want the files to be sent to the imposition software until 8.00 pm. That way I can make a ganging imposition for all jobs to be printed on the same substrate the next day. For instance I can submit a job to be printed on Reboard White C...

Release files at a certain time

In order to do a ganging imposition I need to hold all incoming files until a certain time, i.e. 8.00 pm. How do I set this up in Switch? I have added a Hold job, set Delay scheme to Release condition. If I then select Define condition with variables I can choose Switch - Date which will give me the...

Re: Need help with adding bleed and crops

Dunno if this is what you're after, but I have an action list that will increase the media box 10 mm on all sides and add printer marks according to the trim box. I.e. if you have a page with the media box 210 x 297 mm it will change the media box to 230 x 317 mm and add printer marks for 210 x297 mm.

Re: How to check for resolution

I don't know if you can do it with an action list, but a preflight profile can do it for sure. The attached preflight profile will list the resolution of any image with a resolution below 1500 dpi. Worst case just create a new Preflight profile, go to Images and select Resolution of. Set image type ...

Xml export and XSLT

I'm working on a flow where I need to export the data submitted via a Submit point to an xml file for use in a different workflow system. I added an Export metadata to the flow and that creates an xml file looking like this: <field Id="spMF_6_2"> <tag>Korrketur</tag> <type>boolean</type> <...

Re: File locked after Switch fails to copy it

The files were not visible in windows, but visible on Mac... :lol:
This morning however when I connect to the server they are gone... go figure...

It must have been my Mac that was acting up somehow... Good to know that the problem will eventually solve itself... :mrgreen:

File locked after Switch fails to copy it

I put two files in a folder on a Windowsbased fileserver, but for some reason Switch was unable to copy the files to an internal folder for processing and now I am unable to overwrite or delete the files because I don't have permission to remove them. When I browsed to the folder on my PC I was able...

Re: Using variables in filepath

Hi Terkelsen. Could this work? In the set Set hieararchy path you set the number of subfolders you need, the first one based on the Customer name and then in the Archive hierarchy you set the path to the folder before your customer folder. See attached screenshot where the path set in Archive points...

Merge PDF adds suffix to file name

Does anyone know why Merge PDF adds a suffix to the file name and how to stop it from adding the suffix?

As you can see from this screenshot Merge PDF adds the number 291 at the end of the file name and this number increases for every job passing thru the flow.
