Split spread pages based on page width

Post by abonsey »

I'm using the split pages actions of Pitstop server using hotfolders for the common sizes ie A4 & A5 but I'm looking to put it into a preflight flow where:
  • the preflight detects that the first and last pages are half the width of the remaining text pages
  • splits the text pages based on the first and last pages width
This would require the flow and preflight using variable widths. Has anybody got this working? Or have examples they can share?

Just trying to build a smarter preflight flow that fixes all our different booklet sizes.

TIA

Hi Andrew

I would split each PDF in to separate pages, then check for spreads, splits the spreads, then put the PDF back together again. Then do the preflighting.
