Issue with processing files

[Topsyturvy]

Hello,

I have a workflow that downsamples PDFs to 72 DPI using PitStop Server, and then applies protection through the command line using PDFtk.

For example, when I copy 8 PDF files into the workflow, the protection step only starts after all of the files have been processed by PitStop Server.

How can I fix this? Is it possible to make the command line process each file as soon as it arrives?

I suggest you use job priorities. They can be set on input and intermediate folders. Set the priority before PitStop Server to 1 and after PitStop Server to 2. In that way the jobs in front of "Execute command" will have a higher priority than the ones waiting in front of PitStop Server.
