Can I automate PDF file merger based on the correspondence of the names of files with Acrobat Pro?

I want to automate the task of merging PDF files from a directory on a local computer with PDF files that have the same name on a network directory.  Essentially, the process would be to read the name of the local pdf file then procedure step by step the structure of network directories to find a corresponding file name.  If a match is found then merge the local (including bookmarks) file in the network file (insert before page 1).  If the merger success, delete the local file.  If an error occurs, announce the error and move the local file to a local folder that is named MergeErrors.  If no match is found move the local file to a local folder named NoMatches. This process should be repeated until all files were them merged or moved.  Can I do this with Actions in Acrobat Pro?

Not directly - Actions have no logic so can not react to mistakes or perform some filtering.

You can use a JavaScript script to the folder level and the command doc.insertPages () to combine a file into another, but you'd have to hardcode the paths. There is no directory, listing or search feature in Acrobat JavaScript.

  • encrypt the pdf file with acrobat pro xi secure certificates

    Hi all

    I support a user who allows to encrypt documents with approved identities (*.fdf) on Acrobat X.

    Now on Acrobat XI, when you encrypt a document, it can not used approved identities. It seems that Acrobat XI allow the encryption of digital identification (*.pfx imported)

    Is this correct? Anyway, we can encrypt on Acrobat XI with approved identities?

    Thank you.

    Hi Welly,

    A digital ID (a P12 or PFX file) consists of three parts; a public key certificate, the public key and the private key. The public key certificate (PKC) corresponds to the text part you see in a certificate Viewer and contains stuff like (aka the subject) user name, issuer name, validity dates, serial number. etc. The two keys (public and private) have a symbiotic when you a key blocking (crypt) only the other keys can unlock (decrypt). Each key can be used to block (encrypt) data, but if it serves the data needs to be unlocked (decrypted) with the other key.

    If the file does not contain the private key, but comes of PKC public key and which are known as a certificate file. Certificate files can be shared with the world, where as ID digital file can only be used by one person. A certificate file can be viewed by anyone, but a digital ID file is password protected or PIN.

    That said, when it comes to encrypt a PDF file using the security certificate file is encrypted using one or more certificate files, and the certificate file is used. However, Acrobat asks the user to choose their own digital ID to use in order to prevent their locking out of the file during the encryption process. Actually Acrobat only want access to the part of the public key of the file for the encryption process, but it asks the user to select their digital ID to start. You can choose to not use your own digital ID and go to the part where you select it the recipients public key certificate, and if you know you can select your own, but when the time comes to enter the file you must have the private key to decrypt the file and this means that you should have access to the digital ID file. It does not make much sense that encrypt you the file for yourself and have not already loaded digital ID.

    The extent and files certificates go, they can be shared in the TOT, the CER file format or the P7B file format. The format of the file is just the transport mechanism to distribute the public key.

    I have Adobe export in PDF format. Can I combine PDF files with that?

    Unfortunately, no. ExportPDF is just to create Word (or Excel) documents of existing PDF files. To combine several PDF files into one, you must either Pack PDF or Acrobat DC.

  • If an illustrator file has links with spot colors, how can I create PDF files with process colors?

    My file has shades of tones that came with the linked logo, I could not find a way to convert those shades of colors quadri.

    I need to send PDF on a printer with only process colors, I know that the printer can choose to convert spot colors to process when printing with printer within Acrobat Panel, but since we do not print, we need to send files to print ready with process colors only.

    Is there a way or a script to make PDF file generated from Illustrator with process colors only?

    You could try object > flatten transparency and clear colors to preserve overprints and Spot.

    I set the preset high resolution and turn on the preview to see if something dramatic is going to happen.

    After that, you can check the file of color dot in the separations Preview Panel.

  • How do I access check properties after I've already saved the pdf file in Acrobat Pro ms?

    I did a form of a Word document that contains check boxes and text fields.  Acrobat read many but not all of the boxes in the Word document as radio buttons so I changed the check boxes.  When I select them I get a check mark.  The checkboxes that Acrobat originally created to display the box when selected.  I saved the pdf file.  Is there a way to get check box properties menu I can change the boxes to check marks or what I have to start from the new original Word document?

    Hi maclover813 ,

    shoul you can edit each element of single form in Acrobat Pro ms: right click on the element you want to change and modify the properties you want.

    You can select multiple items at once by clicking the element while holding down the Ctrl/Strg key on the keyboard.

  • When I try to open a PDF file with adobe Acrobat reader Windows Media Center automatically appears.

    When I try to open a PDF file with adobe Acrobat reader, windows media center automatically opens. How to prevent this? I just want to open the PDF file with Acrobat reader.

    The solution I think. If you right-click on one of the files and select open the file locations it now combined the file with adobe reader.

    Yes - you simply need to change the associated file (and path) back to Adobe Reader.  (If that's your choice PDF reader.)

    If you did this:

    Press the Windows Logo and R key at the same time to bring up the dialog box RUN.
    Once you have the dialog box up, type in the following command and press OK...

    cmd /k ftype AcroExch.Document

    That he return with? Should be something like:

    AcroExch.Document = "C:\Program files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" '%1'

  • I'm trying to create a PDF file with several signature lines in that anyone can "Sign" by using their digital signature CAC (Common Access Card) active. The goal is to have a single document that people can open, sign on a designated line and save the doc

    I'm trying to create a PDF file with several signature lines in that anyone can "Sign" by using their digital signature CAC (Common Access Card) active. The goal is to have a single document that people can open, sign on a designated line and save the document (replacing the existing document) and close. Then another person can open the same document digitally sign another area of the form, save it, and close it. So on, and so on. Is there a way to do this? At the end of the day, I would end up with a PDF file with literally hundreds of signatures to enable different ACC everywhere...

    I don't understand what the problem is. In the post of the davidr96549424 on May 8, 2015 07:58 you presented a structure of a correct document. Is the issue of the creation of this structure in a PDF file? For this, you will need an Acrobat, not reader.

    XI in Acrobat, select Tools-> forms-Edit. Click 'No' on the form fields 'detect '. In the tasks Panel that opens, click on "add new field". Select "Digital Signature" and move it to the location in the document where you want to than the appearance of the signature to be. Repeat that for signature fields as you want. Users will sign by clicking on the prepared unsigned signature field which shows the dialog box "sign. Do not forget that as TSN has noted that a digital signature applies to the entire document. The entry in the document where it is is irrelevant. Each next signature covers all previous signatures.

    Your users can also sign a document from anywhere that they want without signature fields already prepared. For this select fill & sign-> work with certificates and the type of signing you want to sign up with. A dialog box that will tell you a rectangle for the appearance of signature rises and after you draw the rectangle of the dialog 'Sign' rises.

    PDF/Acrobat doesn't have a limit on a number of signatures in a PDF document. But! Don't forget that when you open a PDF file with Acrobat/Reader signatures valid all of them and takes time (several seconds - until 10 - for every signature), so if you have several signatures of dozens of their validation open can take a long time.

    I don't know how build you your workflow so that each person signs the same PDF and saves it. Economy runs on the same computer where the PDF is stored. You'll have to decide how to allow different people to have access to the same PDF. They, of course, you may sign this only one-at-a-time PDF.

  • On a PC using Windows and Adobe Reader, I sent 10 PDF files in a zip file and each label of the PDF file with a number from 1 to 10, so that they appear in the order I want. Numbered 1 to 9 records fell in sequence automatically, but number 10

    This is my first time using this forum. I hope that my question made its appearance and that this space is to respond to the answers possible, but just in case, here's my question again:

    On a PC using Windows and Adobe Reader, I sent 10 PDF files in a zip file and each label of the PDF file with a number from 1 to 10, so that they appear in the order I want. Numbered 1 to 9 records fell in the sequence automatically, but the number 10 appears under the number 1 instead of below the number 9. I googled the problem, do not see addressed. I called Microsoft, and they said it's a matter of Adobe. If anyone can help I would be grateful.

    Thank you.

    Not an Adobe issue at all. If you want your files to a single digit (1-9) to appear before the 10, you must add a zero at the beginning.
