General / Re: How to get a discription in the subject field of a att

Hello RTT,

Thank you for your quick reply and help !
I love your great product.
I bought PDF-ShellTools yesterday after trying it for 30 days and it is worth every penny.
I tested your solution with F2 to edit the description in the attachment dialog and it works perfect.

Maybe a idea for a future release to add a kind of double click action to edit these fields in this dialog.
In your other dialogs the double click works, hence my confussion.
Maybe also add this functionality to the "Dutch" help-file. I didn't check the other help files.

I will keep my eyes open for a pdf with a meaningfull attachment-"relation"-field .....

Last question, is it also possible to add this "description" using the commandline interface ?

Thank You very much and have a nice day !

To edit the fields of the attachments description column, click the field with the mouse cursor and then press the F2 keyboard key. Using the same method you can also change the filenames.

Regarding the "relationship" named column in the attachments panel of the Acrobat Reader. I have no idea for what this column is used. If you find any PDF with attachments that shows any content in this column, let me know.

General / How to get a discription in the subject field of a att

Hello,

i have a question.

With PDF-ShellTool i can easely attach files to an PDF-file. This works very well, thank You !
When I look at the dialog I see a second column with the "subject"header (="Omschrijving" in Dutch). See screenschot.
This column is also availeble when I open the PDF in the acrobar reader, see second screen-shot.
How do I edit this subject field?
Appartently there is also a "relations"-column visible in the Acrobat-reader. Is this also a value/field that can be edited?

Thank You very much,

You may automate the installer as explained in this Silent Command Line Install of PDFShellTools forum thread but, currently, there is no easy way to also add custom metadata properties.
Easy to do it manually from the manager settings backup/restore functionality, that will include the scripts and custom properties definition.

I need to add the possibility to restore settings at installation time, with a installer command line parameter.

Meanwhile, you may do it like this:
1 - Create the installation folder, usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\PDF-ShellTools"
2 - Copy the PDFShellTools.propdesc and lkey.dat files to that folder, from the test PC.
3 - Create the program data folder under the user roaming profile, C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\PDF-ShellTools or %appdata%\PDF-ShellTools
4 - Copy there the MyScripts.dat named file, from the test PC equivalent folder.
5 - Import into the the user Windows registry the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\PDFShellTools key, previously exported from the test PC.
6 - Run the installer, specifying the parameters /SILENT /PASSWORD=password

You may use the RunScript command line function to run the script from a shortcut, batch file, PowerShell script, etc.
But it's easy for the user to manually select the PDF files that have the specific column empty (sorting by that column), invoke the right click menu and call the script from the PDF-ShellTools sub-menu.

Hello, is there a way that I can install this throughout our company so that each one has our 'scripts' built in / can be managed globally?
Thanks
Chris

Hi - great scripts! We use a lot of PDF's (we're architects) would it be possible for this script to run automatically or create a ribbon button to run this automatically? Just wanting to make the process as simple as possible for the guys. Thanks Chris

In your screenshot the [ReplaceStr] part of the expression is not showing in blue, so your custom scripts don't have a script named ReplaceStr. Probably you forgot to rename the newly added script or mistyped the name.

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
