Get OutputIntent of incoming PDF/X

Hello Switch-Users,



I'd like to read the OutputIntent of incoming pdf files within a flow and add it to the job's metadata. In the user guide I haven't found anything like this.

Is this a 'known variable' of switch or what is the right keyword to search for? (if not 'output intent')



Thanks in advance!

Thomas

Switch doesn't have a mechanism for extracting the PDF/X OutputIntent profile; however, you can use Apago's PDFspy. It extracts a wide variety of metadata including the OutptutIntent profiles into XML format. There's a built-in Configurator for PDFspy in PowerSwitch.



metadata path is: "/pdfattrs/OutputIntents/v0"
