Shouldn't Switch decode the XML, the & is illegal in XML and is written as & . If you get it from a Metadata variable it should be correctly applied as a file path in Switch. If not you always have the Search field in the variables were you can do a RegEx to change the & to & and the...

If the problematic characters are in the filename and Switch has problem finding the files Switch can't change the file name until the file is in the Switch system.

What are the file systems? Are the files on another system than the Switch installation?

The input file to the InDEsign configurator must be a InDesign file, a template or a job. Then the script will place the PDF on this InDesign file.

If I understand you question correct you can do it in Switch with the Execute Command and run PDFToolkit (pdftk) Stamp function. It can combine two PDF's on top of each other. It will position the placed PDF from the lower left corner.

I don't know how the scripting for Quite Imposing works but if you can send a script file to it I think that my app "Execute Command Friend" could work.

It will let you create a dynamic shell script from Switch variables that can be used by an application that needs a script to run.

It can be done with my App Duplicate PDF Pro that Freddy suggested early in this thread.

You have to use PDF Toolkit for this and run it with Execute Command. Then you have to construct a shellscript or BAT-file that contains the commands to make your new PDF. PDF Toolkit uses the cat command for it. https://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-man-page/#dest-op-cat You can use my free APP Execut...

You can solve this without scripting too. I guess you want to sort even or odd pages from a PDF and do different things with them. If you first split the PDF in Switch and UnGroup the folder the pages end up in you have files with a suffix of the page numbers. On the connection out of the folder you...

Thanks,

It wasn't much of a problem since I already had the code for it in a script I made a couple of years ago.

It was just to take a snippet that could do this and make an app of it.

That is also why it is free

I have now made an app that is called Date Calculator. It will hopefully be on the Enfocus Appstore at the end of the week. And it will be FREE! You can with it add or subtract days from a given date. and it will do it correctly over a change of months. The new date will be stored as Private data in...

But it can be done with an App
Gabriel, you or me??

Then you don't need the Scripting module.



Jan

It's a long standing request to be able to use Switch.Calucaltions to calculate date and time.

As it is you are stuck with calculate the Day value but as you say at the end or beginning of a month you're stuck.


Jan

There's a numerical value for a date that you can do calculations on.

Look in the documentation

There is a CLI utility that is called pdfimages that can extract images inside of PDF's It is a simple tool that can be run with the Execute command tool. Depending on how the images is saved inside of the PDF you can get it to save the images as .jpg, how ever normally it is saving out images in a ...

It is probably a path-issue.

Try to use the Static IM where all the components are embedded in to one .exe-file.
They are at the bottom of the list.
