Variable page sizes accepted in preflight check (Boolean)

Post by DJS »

I wish to write an action list/flightcheck that will simply check if the PDF is A6, A5, A4 or A3 (Landscape or portrait) and if so pass without errors using variables. Can anyone show me how the variable preferences and the flightckeck/Action would be populated

There is an Action "Select by page size" that is pretty much self-explanatory. Do use "not equal to". Put three of them in an Action List followed by 2 ANDs and Log selection. If something is selected it means the page size was not equal to one of the 3 selects and a message is logged (you choose warning or error there as well). If nothing is selected it means one of the selects matched and nothing gets logged.

No variables needed.

Hi, sorry for my lack of understanding, I have the sizes and the AND's in an action list... what am I missing to reject a size not specified in the select by page sizes?

There is no "Log selection" at the end.
