Sort PDF files by Bleed box relative to trim box

[mccreadysit]

Hi There,



I am trying to sort PDF files based on the bleed box. I am trying to do a variable such as [Stats.BleedBoxWidth] minus [Stats.BleedBoxWidth] = .125, but I cannot figure out how to do math with the variables, is this possible?





Thanks,

Scot

Using Switch variables you can only look at the current job. You can't calculate the difference of bleed box width between 2 or more jobs for instance.



In general you would use Switch.Calculation like:



[Switch.Calculation:Expression="[Stats.BleedBoxWidth]*72.0",Precision="1"]





You could use Add Hierarchy to add bleed box width (and/or height) to the path and then use Archive Hierarchy to sort the files into different folders.

Thanks a ton dkelly, I was pulling what little hair I have left out trying to figure out how the Switch calculation worked.
