Hi All, how do I get Submit metadata fields into a Pitstop variable set for preflight. I currently have 3 fields width, height & number of pages I would like a preflight to verify the file against the data entered in the fields at the submit point.
Thanks in advance.
Using Submit Metadata in Pitstop Varibale Set
Re: Using Submit Metadata in Pitstop Varibale Set
This is the way.
1+2. Select your Variable Set.
3. Go with Text with Variables.
4+5. Define your Switch variable over here.

Thanks Sander, but I dont have 'Text with Variable' as an option?
Re: Using Submit Metadata in Pitstop Varibale Set
Do you open the variable set via Switch or directly via PitStop server?
PitStop server: Via Switch: Notice the difference?

Thanks both I have now managed to get the variable set setup as below.
But I cant read these variable within a Preflight profile?

Hi
You need to set the variable type as "length". Number as you set is needed for abstract numbers like a number of pages, or separations.
When you come to check dimensions, you need length which introduces unit (mm, in…)
Hope that helps,
