See if this does what you need. Best I could tell you want to add a new page at the end of the document, based on master B. The script had the name of the master page as B-Masterpage, but without renaming the master page it is actually B-Master. Let me know if it isn't what you need and I can probably tweak it for you.

dostuff();
function dostuff(){
    var curDoc = app.activeDocument,
    allPages = curDoc.pages,
    nPages = allPages.length;
    newMaster = curDoc.masterSpreads.itemByName("B-Master");
    for (i = nPages-1; i >= 0; i--) {
        curPage = allPages;
        p = curDoc.pages.add({appliedMaster: newMaster});
        //~ p.move(LocationOptions.AFTER, END);
        }
    }

Does that request approval tho? Like send the email to the customer? I saw it and just thought it set the state

ahhh there we go. Thanks guys

I would but it is us who are creating the art. It was a type of web to print workflow but they decided to make it a web to, wait, let's proof it, to print workflow I got everything to work, putting it into the correct group and adding some random job alias info. But of course the csr doesnt want to keep they're job i guess and asked me to go ahead and request the approval too.

I would be more than happy to have that particular csr run out of work to do

Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure. I have jobs coming in that use a prejob to create the jobs and web enable it. They would like it to request approval also but someone will have to work instead lol

Hi Folks!

Anyone know if you can request approval using an RBA? I am not seeing an action for it, but I am a little slow

Thanks,
Michael

I found this the other day in an old desk. Maybe we could build a retro print shop lol

Oh...GOD lol

I can usually figure something out but this one is just too dumb.

I agree with everyone, all you can do is charge them into supplying it as something you can work with, or make a fortune. If it were one file coming in I'd just suck it up and do it, but you said "a large number".

my condolences 

What I do now for our current work is write javascript to run Indesign. Data is either input into a web app, or I can be fed spreadsheets. I receive an xml and read that and have the scripts manipulate the templates for each job. It's SS or xmpie but custom. We were going to go with Indesign Server but it was overkill for the volume. What I do is technically against the EULA, but that just means I dont get support.

The boss man suggested I look into xmpie, which lead me here. I did the math this morning and I'm not sure he has. I would need to create 27 million unique labels per week. He is just seeing the 1.2 billion labels per year and not understanding the real weekly volume. I checked out the company that does it now for them, and it is an enormous place with locations all over the US supporting them. It is a far stretch to go from what I do now, which is a few thousand jobs a month, to 27 million a week lol.

Should be a fun conversation later today... which will start with "Have you lost your goddamn mind?"

Thanks guys. I am pretty sure this project is too large for either. It would require hands free production. I have some custom scripting I do so I may have to try and see if I can get that to work but the shear volume is daunting.
Bossman is trying to get work that is not what we focus on here, and the company that does it now ONLY does that kind of work and has for years. I think I get to tell him we are out of our league. We can print the work, but creating the art doesn't seem possible.

Hi folks,

We have a new project we are bidding on and I had a question for those who know these software packages. We use smartstream designer some for our work, but this won't be ran on Indigos so XMPIE was suggested. In researching this morning, it looks like XMPIE is basically Smartstream designer in how it operates, or have i missed something?

Thanks for any views, reviews, criticisms, or general malaise

Sorry I meant to add if you need to change the minimum poit size before it stops, it is on line 19. I have it set for 3 point in that version.

Good luck!

Try this out Delooch. I included instructions. If you need help let me know.

Thanks abc, I didn't know about the bundle for the HP part. HP is supposed to be coming out with the same functionality in their PrintOS system, but it won't be available until mid summer.

I wanted to make sure of something, but to run Switch you need Pitstop server, correct? The website is a tad confusing. Our ultimate goal was to use the HP EPM module, and I don't know that we need everything else that comes with Pitstop Server and Switch.
