Insert/Append Script for inserting one page over and over

(1/2) > >>

nightslayer23:
Insert Append tool allows for inserting a pdf document to the start or end of any pdf file, but what about if it added it to every page of one zip file.

essentially creating a "back.pdf" pdf to be added as every even or odd.

"fronts file.pdf" + "back.pdf" every even page:

Result: New.pdf > front,back,front,back end

"zip file" ?
If any of these PDFs have more than one page, show me an example with page indexes, so I can better understand the goal.

Apologies - i meant pdf file. Unsure what happened there :Z

Perhaps two scenarios..

The page to insert will always be a single page, to be added in as the even (or back page) to the original file.

Second scenario: both files will be the same page count, eg 36 Fronts.pdf 36 backs.pdf, and they'd be combined as Odds (fronts) Evens (backs) > output.pdf

If for instance one file was a different count to the other, blank pages could be added?

The first scenario is the main application though. it basically works in the opposite to the current Insert/Append function, whereby instead of in the box "pages to include" being able to enter "odd" "even" "all" etc, the insert/append info section allows for the original file to say "after each page"

I'm going to change the insert/append pages tool to accept multiple insert indexes (current "insert point page" column), with support to index expressions (odd, even, Xn, etc.). This way it will be possible to do multiple inserts withing one run.

This interleave functionality is already possible with the merge tool. Just set for merging the fronts and backs PDFs and check the "merging sequencing through documents in the list" option. You can use the copies column to set the "back" pages to match the number of pages of the fronts one.

GREAT! next update I assume?

also, is there a way of creating shortcut commands for tasks?
