check trimbox size

Post by Robbie »

Im making banners for customers trough automation in pitstop. In teh action we fill in the size that we need for the banner but sometimes the orderform from the customer is not filled correctly so the size is different. I need to have a check somewhere that can look for the file size and the size we file in into the action.

So you need to check the relevant page box, but the value you use for checking should come from a variable.
Do you have Switch or just PitStop Server?
Also where does the size to check against come from, do you have a job ticket or XML?.

for now we are using pitstop pro 2019. as we start the action we fill in the lenght and hight that the banner should become. (this is a variable) so we need to have a check if the trimbox is this size.

So surely you just need to check the size of the Trim Box and use the height/width variables you have?
use the 'Check Page Size Action' and set it up to use the variables.
