Does anyone have a script - or know how to write it - that takes an incoming job, if it's a file, and copies it to a defined folder (arg1 as choose folder) and then lets the original file pass through. Actually I need to copy to a networkfolder, and it can't be the normal Switch-method of moving fil...

No, I cant put the marks on the incoming job. A better explanation of what I'm trying to do, is that I need to put different size covers centered on a sheet of a fixed size (larger than the biggest cover). This will ease the lamination process. If I use the CLI-option in PowerSwitch, I override the ...

I need to put incoming PDF's on a sheet with very specific marks on it, and I thought I could do it with Overlay.

But Overlay takes a PDF and places on top of the incoming PDF - I need it to be the other way around!



Anyone know how I can do this? Maybe by using the CLI Parameters?



Thanks

It works like a charm. Also I've learned some cool tricks from your setup, so thank you again!



But it's not really that easy to do in a script, huh?

I tried your script, but couldn't get it to work (it just leaves the txt-file next to the job-folder, so the jobs aren't merged). I then tried a pretty complex flow, that spaces jobs apart, injects the txt-file, dismantles the job so all the individual fles are mixed with the one txt-file and after ...

Just so you know it, Dwight: I admire you immensely! :-) Out of curiosity: When you make the temporary path and copy theFileToInject to it, then you first send the temporary path to the out connection, and then finally the job itself. Will the two sendToSingle-statements send to the same job? Won't ...

Hmm, how will that merge the textfile and the job folder into one job? It it something like: createPathWithName(createFolder: "temporary") and then somehow send the arrived job and the textfile to this folder. And THEN sendToSingle() where you send the folder in the temporary path to the o...

I bet there's a simple solution to this: I need to add a text file to the jobfolders that pass through my flow. It's the same file every time and the job folders must not change name or metadata (from xml-file). I've already made a flow with job dismantlers, job injectors and assemble job elements, ...

I will keep you (all) updated. I had the same suspicion about the removal of unique ID. If you can't get PS to remove the ID BEFORE moving the file, maybe the only solution is a script to throw a copy of the file without ID into a network-folder specified with a path in the script-parameters? I will...

They probably are, but no way to change it, and, as I wrote, a manual copy/move doesn't stop the hotfolders funtionality...

I have two applications that support local hotfolders. One is a RIP that impose and process PDF's from several Hotfolders. The other is a shipping system that accepts tab-delimited files with address and shipping method. Both have problems with files that Powerswitch delivers to their hotfolders ove...
