Switchscripter can't combine value from pdf and xml in one variable
Posted: Fri Nov 29, 2019 12:06 pm
I have a script in Switchscripter with incoming one pdf and one XML.
If the job is XML I get the value from the XML (works inside the function)
if the job is a PDF I get the size of the PDF (works inside the function)
But when I "convert mm to pt" I get two values in trimBoxWidht and trimBoxHeight sense both the pdf and xml pass this.
I also get double X and Y.
How do I get one calculated X and Y with the combination of the info from the PDF and the XML.

Code: Select all
function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job )
{
var PrintWidthCover = 0;
var PrintHeightCover = 0;
var pdfWidth = 0;
var pdfHeight = 0;
if(job.isType("xml")) {
//Get Widht and Height from the XML
var theXML = new Document(job.getPath());
PrintWidthCover = theXML.evalToString("//PrintWidthCover");
PrintHeightCover = theXML.evalToString("//PrintHeightCover");
}
if(job.isType("pdf")) {
//Get size of the pdf
pdfWidth = job.getVariableAsNumber("[Stats.PageWidth]");
pdfHeight = job.getVariableAsNumber("[Stats.PageHeight]");
}
//convert mm to pt
var trimBoxWidht = PrintWidthCover * 2.83464567;
var trimBoxHeight = PrintHeightCover * 2.83464567;
//calculate starting point
startX = (pdfWidth - trimBoxWidht)/2;
startY = (pdfHeight - trimBoxHeight)/2;
s.log(2, "-- pdfWidth: " + pdfWidth);
s.log(2, "-- trimBoxWidht: " + trimBoxWidht);
s.log(2, "---Start X: " + startX);
s.log(2, "----Start Y: " + startY);
job.sendToNull( job.getPath() );
}
