Pitstop Server or Switch - can they do this?

I own both, but would prefer Switch.
I want to drop in a bunch of PDFs.
I want Switch to determine the actual PDF size (crop size?)
Then, rename the PDF with that crop size after the name?
Not looking for someone to do the work. Looking for direction.
 
You can do it with Switch only, very easy. You just need to decide which box dimensions you want, Crop, Trim, Media, ...
 
Here is very small and quick flow that does it, I made two outcomes, one in points and one in inches. I hope this helps.

You need to know your own data…

What happens if there is no crop box info? Can you have multiple conditions to fall back to?

A media box is a given, however it may not be the final job size which is usually set by the trim box.
