Routing by size not working on specific PDF

Hi all

 

I have a similar issue that has been highighted on this thread, but mine is not because of a rotated page.

 

http://forum.support.xerox.com/t5/FreeFlow-Core/Routing-by-size-not-working-properly/m-p/212305/high...

 

I have a route that needs to recognise whether the PDF is 230mm x 317mm by crop box. The attached PDF however has a media box that contains the crops ( I think generated by Adobe Illustrator) that is bigger than the crop box, and I THINK thi is causing problems.

 

Bearing in mind any fixes I do to this PDF will also have to be done to all the other pdfs that I am sending through to this workflow, which unfortunaely is a replica of one I have "converted" from Process Manager. Because we are replacing PM with FFCore I need to keep the logic more or less the same and I am dealing with hundreds of existing legacy PDFs that will have this same issue!

 

Does anybody have any ideas how I can get FFCore to recognise that the crop box is 230x317 and therefore route correctly?

 

I have tried the following unsuccessfully by creating kfpx's in Callas and importing into Freeflow:

• setting media box to crop box = does not work

 

• derive the geometry boxes from the crops if missing >  remove objects outside of the trim that are registration in colour > setting media box to crop box   = The problem I have with this method is that all files I send to the workflow will be effected.

 

Hoping somoene with superior knowledge to me on the constructs of this PDF and how FF reads it can help, Process Manager read it fine by just looking at the crop box size,  but  FF goes a lot a deeper I think and is more "fussy" (rightly so) about the pdf's structure.

 

Thanks for your help

 

Simon
