This is an example AppleScript that shows how information from the XMP metadata associated with a job can be used to filter files.

This is an example script that demonstrates how you can access information in a dataset of a job (in this case the 'Xmp' dataset that was created by the XMP Pickup tool) and how to add this information to the hierarchy information of a job.

This script demonstrates how you can use global, persistent data in a script. In this case the global data is used to hold a unique ID and the name of every processed job is prefixed with that unique ID.

This particular example assumes PDFspy has been used on a PDF job; it detects whether fonts named "Courier" exist in the processed PDF file.

This script uses the EXIFutils command-line tools to retrieve the EXIF information for each incoming file and adds it to the metadata of that respective file.

This is an example script that shows how information from the XMP metadata associated with a job can be used to filter files.

This script set the user name for all incoming jobs in their respective job tickets.

Each time a new job arrives, the current date is added to the hierarchy information of a file. This allows you to create a folder structure per year, month or day using the Archive hierarchy tool.

This script can be used for routing jobs dependent on the result of the PitStop Server preflight report after adding it to the metadata.

This JavaScript for Acrobat adds information to the following document info fields: title, author, subject, keywords and creator.

Acrobat is used to make a summary of the annotations resulting in a file that shows you the page content and the annotations per page.

Files are received through email, FTP or from CD. Switch filters out the file types that are allowed to be stored in Cumulus and hands them over to AutoCatalog.

This flow demonstrates how to ungroup jobs, process jobs and re-group (assemble) jobs at the end of the flow.

This flow is designed to generate a version of a multi-page PDF file that contains spreads for all pages.

The Markzware FlightCheck Professional configurator is used to sort images. Only certain file types are allowed in the flow and then sorted on non-CMYK, CMYK and ICC tagged CMYK.

The “Create and check” flow accepts files from different sources (Email, FTP, hotfolder); Distills the PostScript files; preflights the PDF files and archives them. Notifications are send whenever there is a problem.

This flow is a Ghent PDF Workgroup compatible flow. PDF files are created with Acrobat Distiller and preflighted with FlighCheck Professional. Notifications are send whenever a problem is detected.

Using PitStop Server in combination with Switch allows you to create an XML preflight report. The XSLT transform tool is used in this example to convert the XML report to an HTML page ready to be uploaded to the Gradual Software website.

PostScript, Illustrator or InDesign files are converted to PDF files using Adobe PDF Presets.

This flow shows how to merge PDF files into 1 PDF document and how to create a zip archive both grouping files based on their file names.

This example flow will first preflight all PDF files and only send the files without any problems to Impostrip, which will impose those using dynamic templates.

This flow demonstrates how you can make operators responsible for a number of customers and alert the correct operator whenever a certain customers job is failing.

This example flow show how 3 different configurators are used to preflight, impose and print PDF files e.g. business cards.

This flow retrieves files from the input folder going 5 subfolder levels deep. All PDF files are opened in Acrobat and saved as PostScript files. Afterwards these PostScript files are distilled using PDF Settings that enforce PDF 1.3 compatibility.

PDF files are dropped into the hotfolder of the designated customer. PDF Enhancer automatically creates a soft proof and send the file to the correct customer.

This flow demonstrates the use of the variable 'Color Mode' to sort images by colorspace. As the 'Color Mode' variable is added to a file by Photoshop, the Photoshop configurator is used to open incoming files and save them, thereby updating the metadata in the images with the Color mode value which is used afterwards to sort on.

This flow uses a JavaScript in the Acrobat Professional Configurator that splits a PDF file in different files and adds the page label as a suffix to the file name.

Switch retrieves attachments from emails send to a specific email account wile remembering the sender’s email address, email subject, body etc. This email information is saved in XML which is picked up by AutoCatalog together with the attachments and added to the Cumulus database.

Files are submitted through SwitchClient where you are obligated to enter a priority between 1 and 9. The "Priority Queue" tool looks at these priorities to decide which file should be preflighted first.

This flow allows you to rename files by entering the new name in the SwitchClient checkpoint. The actual renaming is done by PowerSwitch.

The XML preflight reports created by PitStop are picked up as metadata. This metadata is used to sort files in different folders depending on the type of errors that were found e.g. color, font or other errors.

The information collected by Apago PDFspy is exported as XML and also used to track down the font Courier.
