Hi everybody, i need some help.
This is the situation.
Input folder (e.g.):
123.pdf
123.png
456.pdf
456.png
(etc.)
Now i want 123.pdf/123.png and 456.pdf/456.png, etc. in a zip file.
That is the wanted output:
123.zip (contains 123.pdf and 123.png)
456.zip
(etc.)
We use the power switch. Maybe a solution is possible with power switch onboard tools? The filenames have no scheme, but the filenames of the pdf and png are always the same (in pairs).
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Michael

Michael,
Use the Assemble job's File pattern scheme and fill out
*.pdf
*.png
In the job folder name use the variable Job.NameProper to make sure the zip file uses the file name from the two files in the folder.

After this you can use the compress tool to create the zip.
