Switch capabilities

[strido]

I have a few quick questions regarding Switch, trying to satisfy curiosity.

Can Switch be used to send a PDF or Postscript file to a printer complete with tray pulls, finishing requirements, exception pages (slipsheets) and such?

We can use Switch to add barcodes, with the barcode content being from either metadata (page count/record count) or from the contents of an XML file?

How does Switch run with large input files? 300-500 meg files, even up to 1 or 2 gigs?

For first one, you can add any metadata to a file, that's about it. I don't think there's integration with printers if you're asking for that.

You need to provide exact code for barcode to generate, not content, so I suppose that's a no.

It depends more on how they're made, encoded or something. I had files that go through perfecty as big as 2 gb's, and I had files that get stuck as small as ~10mb. In other words, switch can handle big files, but sometimes, I don't know on what it depends, but some files do get stuck.

If you add PitStop Server you can add Barcodes as you describe.

There are also Switch Apps available which allow you to 'print' to a printer.

So you can pretty much do what you want. Best thing would be to have a trial and test it.
