Can you run some preflight in Acrobat and check the boxes of your pdf to see if your ArtBox has a different size than the TrimBox. I don't know what software you are using to create the pdf but if I export a pdf from InDesign with bleed, then the ArtBox is the same as the TrimBox, so your preflight using ArtBox and the one I did with TrimBox will then give the same result.
You need the Advanced Automation module for Split. If you don't have Split a possibility could be to setup a workflow for the "printfile" with a Save component that saves to a hot folder for the workflow for the "cutline".
The "Outline page geometry boxes" can be set to use TrimBox, ArtBox, BleedBox and CropBox. I don't know why you can't make it work using anything other than TrimBox. Can you attach your kfp.
Anyway, for the "Outline page geometry boxes" you can use offset values from the chosen geometry box:
You can also specify these as variables if you like by clicking on the orange triangle at the end of the row. I have attached one that has variables for the offset values using mm. You can then change the value in FreeFlow Core instead of creating a new kfp every time you need to change any value.
Hi,
You can have two separate save components or just one. If you for instance will apply the same watermark on both and only use one save component, the workflow can be like this:
You can then select Append Rule Name to Job Name in the initial Split component to save the two files with a unique name (otherwise one will overwrite the other). In this example "cutline" will be added to the job name in the top branch and "printfile" will be added to the job name in the bottom branch.
Here is an idea:
First use Split that will send all pages in two branches. In the top branch use a preflight fixup (attached) that removes any object on a page, then a preflight fixup (attached) that draws a line on the TrimBox and then a watermark. In the bottom branch just a watermark.
