Description:

This is an example script that shows how information picked up from PDFspy can be used. It assumes the PDFspy configurator has been used on a PDF job and that font statistics were collected in a dataset named "PdfSpy".

The script goes into that dataset and looks for the font "Courier". If "Courier" exists in the processed PDF file, the job is moved to the error out connection. If this font was not listed in the metadata, the PDF is moved to the success out connection.
