Hi, I have not been using Pitstop Variable Sets much, so maybe you guys could give me a hand here?

I want to apply variable QR-barcodes to PDF's with Pitstop in Switch. I got the data for the barcode in xml-files and I use XML Pickup to pickup the data in the job. But I can't figure out how to apply my data in the QR-code.

The data I want to apply to the QR-code is: [Metadata.Text:Path="/csv/row/col[9]",Dataset="Xml",Model="XML"]

My Pitstop Variable Set that look like this:

But I doesn't get the data in the QR-code only the 'plane variable'.

Change the "Type" of the variable from "Constant" to "Text with variables" and I am sure it will be clear from there on.

Oh, I didn't realize I had to create the varible set from within Switch, I tried to create the variable set and the action within Pitstop Pro and importing it to Switch.. silly me. :) After a tip från Jan it works fine. Thanks Freddy and Jan!
