"Assemble job" doesn't compose job from "Ungroup job"
Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2020 3:17 pm
Hello together,
I hope someone can help me.
This is my task I want to solve with Switch.
A multi-page PDF (spread pages) has to be split in single pages. All pages has to be duplicated. One part has to be renamed in a sepate way as even pages, the other part has to be renamed in a separeate way as odd pages. After that, all files has to be put together as one job.
In my flow, the collection of all files together doesn't work. Although I use "Ungroup job" after splitting the PDF (I work with private data "ungroup") and try to reassemble all files at the end with "Assemble job" (selection "ungroupe job", private data: "ungroup"), I get two folders at the end. One with the one half of the files and one half with the other files.
The flow creates two folders with the same name (of the origin PDF).
This is an example-PDF my flow step by step:
1. input file is brochure.pdf. It contains 5 spread-pages.
2. "Split PDF" splits it in single pages. Files were numbered with a prefix "[Index]_" Result is folder named "brochure" which contains 5 PDFs:
01_brochure.pdf
02_brochure.pdf
...
05_brochure.pdf
3. "Ungroup job" - Private data "ungroup". Result are the single ungrouped PDFs.
4. Two separate Renaming process way:
The first for even pages. Result is 02_brochure.pdf, 04_brochure.pdf, 06_brochure.pdf... 10_brochure.pdf
The second one is for odd pages. Result is 01_brochure.pdf, 03_brochure.pdf, ... 09_brochure.pdf
5. Both process way end in one folder which contains all 10 PDFs:
01_brochure.pdf
02_brochure.pdf
...
10_brochure.pdf
6. "Assemble job" should reassemble all files in one Folder with the name "brochure".
But the result are two folders:
"brochure" (contains 5 PDFs)
"brochure1" (contains the other 5 PDFs)
My question is: why doesn't "Assemble job" doesn't recognize that this is ONE job and all files belong together? It handles it like two jobs with the same name (in this case "brochure").
I hope someone can help me.
