With Switch in the mix, you can even design a workflow that does a whole lot more than automatically check and fix PDF files.
You point to the ‘in’ folder, ‘error’ folder and ‘out’ folder then indicate which preflight profiles and action lists you want to be performed. (Don’t know what a PitStop Action List is? Read all about it in our previous post.) Your team can then drag and drop PDF files for processing. PitStop Server will allow you to create hot folders with PitStop Preflight Profiles and PitStop Action Lists assigned to them. It’s is a great place to start your automation project because it is scalable, enabling you to integrate the software with any solutions you have or are considering installing in the future. How can I automate as many low-margin jobs as possible to comfortably take on more work in the near future? ‘Switch’ to PitStop Serverįor this kind of prepress automation, we combined PitStop Server with Switch Core. We don’t have an MIS but we do use order/job ticket software. In part two of this series about prepress automation for SMEs, we answer a great question sent to us by prepress manager Thomas: I manage a small prepress team that processes about 150 jobs in a day. What’s that? You don’t believe us? Then by all means, read on (and be sure to check out part one of this blogpost too)! On the EnfocusSW GitHub there is an example script, PitStopServerAddText, that shows the use of this package in an Enfocus Switch environment.No matter how big or small your business, a tailor-made approach to automation is your ticket to huge success. Let psOptions: PitStopServerOptions = main ( ) The default output names are documented below. It is up to the user of the package to remove any files that are not required anymore after processing. The output is gathered in an output folder and consists of not only the "normal" output files (the processed PDF and the reports), but also of the files needed for processing (the configuration file, the variable set). The package takes a PDF and a set of options as input. There are also two interfaces that ensure the correct usage of the options in a TypeScript setup:Īll code samples are in TypeScript. PitStop Server has to be installed and licensed prior to the use of this package.
However, the package can equally well be used in other environments like for example in the backend of a NodeJS-based website where uploaded PDF files are being preflighted. A first obvious use case for this package is to use it for developing scripts or apps that are used in Enfocus Switch. The purpose of this package is to make it easier to work with the CLI version ofĮnfocus PitStop Server by providing a PitStopServer class with a set of methods.
