DFlux | Workflow Automation Bundle by Four Pees

Flow	Description
Add email address	This flow demonstrates how to use a tiny script element to add an email address to a job that pass through the script.
Add unique job ID	This example flow shows how you can use the Rename Job tool to add a unique job ID to all jobs processed through the flow.
Archive files in sub folders	This example flow shows how to use the "Set hierarchy path" tool to add hierarchy information to the metadata of the files being processed. This metadata is then used by the "Output in folders" archive hierarchy which stores all files in automatically generated sub folders in the output folder.
Attaching job states for use with DFluxClient	This example flow omits all real processing steps but shows how you can attach job state to files passing through folders. This job state is shown by DFluxClient, so job state can be used to quickly give people an idea of where jobs are in the workflow.
Color Conversion	This example flow uses pdfToolbox4 Server - Convert Colors to convert all incoming files to the correct CMYK color space for Commercial Print work on coated stock.
Convert everything to single files	This example flow demonstrates how to ensure that everything in a flow is single files. It decompresses incoming files if needed and then removes any folder structure that may be introduced by the uncompress tool or originally by the customer.
Convert Word files	This flow demonstrates how to process incoming Microsoft Word files and automatically convert them to PDF if they have all of their fonts and images embedded / available.
Create EPS and preview	This example flow uses the pdfToolbox4 Server - Actions functionality to create single-page EPS files and PNG previews at 150dpi of all incoming PDF files.
Create low-resolution	This example flow uses Elpical Claro Single to generate low-resolution (72dpi) previews in JPEG format of all incoming images.
Distribute jobs to multiple proofing devices	This flow demonstrates how a "Hold job" flow element can be used to distribute incoming jobs over more than one output device.
Email file after office hours	This example flow demonstrates how to use the Hold Job flow element to perform a function in a timed fashion. In this particular example an email is being sent after office hours.
Impose, cut and stack, 8-up A6 on SRA3	This example flow uses pdfToolbox4 Server - Imposition functionality to impose incoming PDF files.
Optimize Indesign packages	This example flow uses the "Ungroup job" tool to incoming InDesign packages into single files. The image files are moved to Elpical Claro to be analyzed and optimized after which the Assemble job tool reassembles all files into correct InDesign packages for further processing.
PDF/X-1a preparation	This quite elaborate example flow uses pdfToolbox4 Server functionality to analyze incoming PDF files and attach the results of that analysis as metadata to the files being processed. Further processing steps in the flow use this information to decide if problems (such as transparency, layering...) exist and to fix those problems if necessary.
Preflight, report and image	This example flow checks all incoming files for compliance with the PDF/X standard. If the files are OK, it generates a renamed output PDF file and an image preview of those files. If errors are found a low-res version of the preflight report is generated in an error folder.
Prepare layers for PDF/X-4	This example flow takes in PDF files with layers and corrects them to be compliant PDF/X-4 files. It then splits them per layer view. This can for example be used to generate multiple PDF files, each containing one language version of a particular PDF file.
Sort using variables - size	This example flow shows how easy it is to use variables in the "Include these files" filters on a connection. In this example small files are separated from big files by using the "ByteCount" variable.
Split multi-jobs	This short example flow demonstrates how to receive incoming InDesign packages that contain more than one InDesign file and split them into separate job folders where each folder contains one InDesign file.
Split PDF file in pages	This flow demonstrates how to use the Split PDF in pages flow element to split an incoming PDF file into separate PDF files per page.
Step and repeat	This example flow allows the user to supply PDF files using the "Step and Repeat" submit point. The metadata supplied by the user while submitting the file is then used to determine the correct imposition settings to do a step and repeat using pdfToolbox4 Server - Actions.
Use DFluxClient	This example flow demonstrates possible ways to interact with DFluxClient. After setting up the correct access rights for users in the "Users and groups" view in DFlux, users with DFluxClient can submit their jobs to the "Submit Ad" submit point at the beginning of the flow. Those users with access rights for the "Check Quality" checkpoint are then allowed with DFluxClient to decide whether jobs are OK or not OK.
