    Switch - Choose path by page size

    Am I missing something really easy? I simply want to ensure that a PDF is X x Y inches. I put in two folders and drew a connecting line. I assumed I would be able to find "page size" as an option? It is not jumping out at me. In essence - Folder 1 PDF goes in Folder 2 - If 8.5 x 11 then allow...

    Embedded fonts (17.4) possible glitch

    We have utilized the "0" on subset fonts for years. We need the fonts to be embedded. Today we had pdfs come in that were full of subset fonts. We did testing with the original files in 17.1 and 17.4 - and the results showed that 17.4 has something going on. Out of 40 fonts used, in 17.1, only...

    Successful EAL / Switch from envelope converter to JET?

    Wondering if anyone has ever solved this dilemma. We change presses ALL the time. So, the job comes in as an envelope print while converting. This means that we have a 1 page pdf with the flap, front rectangle, and then the back - all on one face of say a rectangle that is 11.75 x 10.33 Now, I...

    TRUE crop

    I cannot believe I do not know the answer to this. Looking at a new piece of equipment Original PDF was for a print and convert. So, for fun let's say it was 10 x 10 with the front, back, and lower part of the envelope situated on a die. We cropped down to a rectangle. Say 9.5 x 4.125 Now, all...

    Copy / Paste - getting hyphenated words

    This should be so simple. But it is stumping me. Old document. 2 pages. Copy all from page 1. If I put into a 3rd page everything is fine. If I make a new document and paste, I get hyphenations. I must have some setting that is not bringing the hyphenations rule with the copied text?

If the job goes digital I will run an EAL that removes anything using the color CROSSHAIRS BUT, if the job goes Flexographic, I want to change CROSSHAIRS to pure...

    What am I missing? Why is this SO difficult every time there is an update? Pitstop V2021 working just great last Friday. Stupidly install the update to 2021 this morning. Suddenly, it cannot find a license! License program clearly shows v2021 with 9 available. So, just to get going I try to...

    Indesign - scripts - coated to uncoated

    Before I ask my team to spend time creating this - does anyone know of a script that will take coated to uncoated? Yes, I am aware there is a sweet EAL to do it after the fact in the pdf. Our procedure is to get it done in INDD. Why do we do this? Because our digital press will attempt to...

    Change page size INDD

    Remember how Quark would allow you to take a 17 x 11 and basically slide two 8.5 under it to then create single pages of 8.5 x 11? Has Indesign ever come up with a way to do this? Example. Customer sends in a spread with say P4 and P1 on it. I want to be able to paginate in my own software. So...

    Switch / EAL idea - thoughts?

    Pitstop Pro now as the ability to look for a graphic and detect if it is a known graphic. I want to do the following and am wondering the feasibility. You all might shoot a hole in it quickly before I waste time. Say I have five dies. I make five 2D barcodes say .5 x .5. I go into Illustrator...

    Switch - sort pdfs by size

    Got to admit. Working from home today and cannot get to my Switch. However, I do not remember this feature? Would like to have centralized PDF in and then branches of say 8.5 x 11, 8.5 x 5.5, etc If this cannot be done from within Switch, can a script be written?

Sizes are squirrelly, but after some tinkering, Crop, Trim, Art 8.5 x 11 Bleed and Media - 9.5 x 11 There are not marks on this as I removed them to get the two pdfs...

    Colors Used in a PDF

    I do not think that Switch / Pitstop Server can do this - but thought I would ask if (a) I am wrong and they can or (b) there is a third party software that can. Assume there are no slugs that would throw things off. Pure 8.5 x 11 PDF that is 9.5 x 12. Assume as well that the artist did...
