Pitstop Pro - Calculation Based Variables
Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2023 9:33 pm
Hello!
I am working on a pistop action that will add a number of boxes to a PDF using a calculation based variable. (We do not have Pitstop Server or Switch)
I need to be able to calculate the following equation and everything that I have googled comes up with a syntax error.
Document Width Inches / 96in = Number of Boxes (Must be a round number)
Example: 240in / 96in = 2.5 (Rounded Up) - Value Needed is 3
I will then take the document width and divide it by the rounded up value.
240in / 3 = 80in - I then take that 80in and add it to my existing action for creating the box itself before doing a step and repeat.
Just wondering if anyone has developed anything like this before. Right now I am requiring the pistop user to input that number but would love it to be seamlessly done in the background.
