Ideas/Suggestions / Re: replace filename

« Last post by Nick Riviera on January 18, 2023, 08:20:00 AM »

thank you for reply and  for the explanations
but,
I do not know if the function ReplaceStr does not work or I did not proceed correctly...

01_replace this_document.pdf
the result should be:
01_210x297mm_document.pdf

Not possible while using the builtin ReplaceS function (the parameters are fixed, not parsed for dynamic content), but doable with a custom script.

With a custom script, named ReplaceStr, with this code:

Code: [Select]

function ReplaceStr() {
    var params = CurrentField.value.split(',', 3);
    if (params.length == 3) {
        return params[0].replace(params[1], params[2]);
    }
}
you can then use this syntax: [ReplaceStr](source,searchValue,newValue)
With your example: [ReplaceStr]([F],replace this,[myScript])

Check if this works.

Code: [Select]

var Merger = pdfe.CreateDocumentMerger();
var ProgressBar = pdfe.ProgressBar;
ProgressBar.max = pdfe.SelectedFiles.Count;
var MainPageIndex = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < pdfe.SelectedFiles.Count; i++) {
    var File = pdfe.SelectedFiles(i);
    var Filename = File.Filename;
    pdfe.echo('Shuffling ' + Filename);
    ProgressBar.position = i + 1;
    var Pages = File.Pages;
    ShuffledIndexesArray = createShuffledIndexesArray(Pages.Count);

    for (var p = 0; p < ShuffledIndexesArray.length; p++) {
        var Page = Pages(ShuffledIndexesArray[p]);
        Merger.MergePage(Page);
    }
    var newFilename = Filename.substring(0, Filename.lastIndexOf('.')) + '_Shuffled.pdf';
    Merger.EndAndSaveTo(newFilename);
    pdfe.echo(' [OK]', 0, 1);
}
pdfe.echo('Done.');

Hi again, would you be able to write a custom script for shuffling the PDF page order from a multipage pdf?

That's not possible with the current version. Only the standard PDF fonts can be used.

Ideas/Suggestions / Re: Script to count how many colour pages in PDF?

« Last post by Nick Riviera on August 22, 2022, 08:36:52 AM »

Thank you.

works with this version ImageMagick-7.1.0-8-Q16-HDRI-x86-dll.exe

It seems the ActiveX ImageMagickObject is not included anymore in the installer (Windows Installer option ImageMagickObject is missing).
Get the old version installer, that includes it, from the Wayback Machine website. Don't forget to select the "Install ImageMagickObject OLE Control for VBScript,..." when installing it.
