Nice, like it!

Try just adding it as a second entry - if Switch cannot create the variable it just seems to leave it blank. I do a similar thing for files from 3 sources: [Metadata.Text:Path="/jobInfo/Customer",Dataset="Xml",Model=XML][Metadata.Text:Path="/jobInfo/Customer",Dataset=&q...

Er, yes....

I'd just had a total blank there Sir!

I know this seems like a basic question - but it's one of those brick wall moments. I'm aiming to rename a jdf file - using the @DescriptiveName part of its own content. (metadata > Text > External > Drop down Jdf > Click @DescriptiveName. Gives me the JDF location path of /dn:JDF/@DescriptiveName N...

Is it because the dataset needs to be XML to use in my HTML template...?

Thanks Dwight - I've ended up using your script and just taking it as job ticket info - all I need do is ...

Yes - I see, that's easier, just use the script to write the XML, with static values for all bar that 1. That appears to mean I don't need to inject a static file anymore?

No worries Dwight. The xml template I have is: Customer upload FTP Upload c.andrews@printing-press-press.co.uk Joe Bloggs 01388 212716 customer_name@printing-press.co.uk FTP Upload Joe Bloggs Inc I am trying to change the "Reference" - in BOLD and Red using the variable "dc:title"...

Yes sir, I can get to the XMP as metadata anyway - what I want to do is take a PDF, inject an XML template - but merge some extra data from the PDF itself into the metadata I have attached. It seems the easy way would be to dynamically modify the content of the Template before I inject it.... I'm tr...

I know the probable answer here, but nothing gained by not asking....



Is there an easy/quick way to extract some XMP info from a PDF and write it into an XML file?



I have this "cunning plan"....



:)

One small issue this morning, easily overcome:



It was crashed this morning, and I couldn't get my folders or Pitstop Server links working properly. Turns out the A/V was "Sandboxing" Switch (I updated yesterday) - as soon as I overrode that, all was good again!

All very effortless. Best to do the licensing first, then let the app upgrade your flows, otherwise it flags elements you don't have (as you haven't upgraded the license) No big problem, but just stops the pop ups.



Total time to upgrade - 15mins....

I'll be interested to pull this one apart Dwight - it's the transformation process that eludes me.

Try: [Metadata.Text:Path="/jdf:JDF/jdf:ResourcePool[1]/jdf:Component[1]/@ProductType",Dataset="Jdf",Model="JDF",Segment="1-5"]/[Metadata.Text:Path="/jdf:JDF/jdf:ResourcePool[1]/jdf:Component[1]/@Dimensions",Dataset="Jdf",Model="JDF&quo...
