Adding a Unique Serial Number inside the PDF

[mark.jetzer]

I have a flow that takes a Hi Res Pdf and generates a low res for routing/approval and storage in a Document database. The Hi Res goes to an FTP site for distribution. What I can't figure out is - I want to add a unique serial number to the source PDF that in both the Hi and Low res. Basically showing that the Low Res was generated from the Hi Res. I have Switch (no scripting) and Pitstop server but for the life of me I can't seem to figure this one out.



I know in Pitstop I can use an action to add text, but generating a unique number? Ideally, it would take the time and date the PDF went through the flow and turn it into a code.



Any suggestions?

Create a Pitstop action with a variable for the stamp text. In Switch, in Pitstop Server configurator select the action and create a variable set that derives the stamp text from the current date.
