Flattening several files at the same time?

Dear Adobe experts,

Is it possible to simultaneously flatten multiple files (in the comments on each separate file flattened)? Or is it possible to create a shortcut for the flattening of a PDF at the same time?

I know of the Ctrl + Shift + X to open the preflight, and then from there I can flatten the file in use.

I have a problem of efficiency because I have thousands of files. I've looked everywhere and know most of the Windows/Adobe shortcuts.

Any help would be appreciated,

Nice day

PS: I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

You can do it by using an Action (via Tools - Wizard of the Action).

Create a new Action that runs this JS code and save the file and then execute it right on your files:

this.flattenPages();

Just an aside: treatment of thousands of files like this may not work in a single process. You'll probably have to do it in batches.

From my experience, nothing more than 500 files at once is a recipe for problems.

    See HairyFool response, and I would add the following. You can select multiple files in a folder by clicking on one and then by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on all the others you want, one at a time.

    After selecting several files, you can do what you want with them - all remove them, copy them, cut, etc..

    OS X does not have an iota of code Microsoft Windows. Do not expect that it works in the same way.

    1. You have the choice on OS X. You can click and drag the file icons that you want to remove, then right-click on one of them and select move to trash.
    2. You can select the first icon in the file and then pressing the SHIFT key or order, select the following icons. Then click on any place in the trash.
    3. Step 2, but using the arrow keys for the selection of additional directional file icon.
    4. Combine [1, 2, 3] to add or subtract icons from file.

    Hi Allan Cole.

    It seems that these downloaded emails would not have permission to delete.

    You suggest to download and save all emails in a specific folder, and then you can delete or read emails downloaded from this particular file.

  • which key to I use to delete several files at the same time?

    I know that this sounds like a stupid question, but I used to know the answer and now I don't remember. When you are in Windows Explorer or any program like this, there is a certain button you can hold down as you move your cursor to select multiple files. Then when they are highlighted you can delete or edit or move them or whatever all at once. I thought it was shift but it does not work for me. Someone must know, please...

    I'm not on my PC now, so I don't know where one would go, if she follows the computer that I use or if she goes to my login information. ??? But the response would be appreciated to the * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    • To select all files in file Explorer, select first one so you are assured that the component has the focus and then press on Ctrl + A (aka select all).
    • To select a contiguous block of files, select the first then hold down one of the SHIFT keys and click the last. All files listed in the meantime will be part of the selection.
    • Select (or deselection) random files, select one and then hold down one of the Ctrl key while clicking on the other files in the folder Explorer pane. By clicking on one already selected deselects it group.
  • [ShareIt] I hope that ShareIt can share the files on several receivers at the same time.

    If ShareIt can share the files on several receivers at the same time, it will save a lot of time for me when I want to share files with a group of friends.

    Good idea.

  • Return of the mistake of MUSE: why do we not have several files with the same name?

    Well - I thought I had all this worked and fixed, but I met the download error 'Why do we have several files with the same name' once again.  (I downloaded all the files several times today in order to 1) works the way it worked the last time and 2) get an OAM file that is not loading for some reason any load again and the download takes about an hour to transfer all the files manually.

    To recap:

    (1) an option "Upload only modified files" returns the 'Muse has encountered an error and closes.  Why do we have several files with the same name? "error just as before.

    (2) a full download will work but takes forever and is NOT a substitution for work changed files option.

    Please advise with possible solutions!

    Is it possible to have two .oam different files in different folders on your computer where the .oam files have the same name? I'm theorizing that there may be a bug in the treatment to ensure the folder created for a .oam placed on the server receives a unique name, particularly in the case of a partial update of the site on the server.

    Please send us the .muse file and all the files in .oam related to [email protected] along with a link to this topic for the context so we can attempt to reproduce this error and isolate the root cause. If files are larger than 20 MB, you'll need to use a service such as Adobe send & Track, Dropbox, creative cloud, WeTransfer, etc. file sharing. Thank you.

  • How read datalog multiple files at the same time?

    Hello friends...

    can someone help me to show how read datalog multiple files at the same time?

    Here is the example of my case.

    I have 500 files in a folder. each file contains a waveform and its setting.

    and then I want to do a card spectral these files, because these files have been saved in the order.

    the point is to know how to read these 500 files at once? I made a program to read these files, but the program can read these files in one by one. So it is very uncomfortable to read 500 files one by one. can someone help me solve this problem? Thank you. I hope you can show me the program. Thank you again...

    Hi jojo,

    Well, in the range of functions daughter, you will find a function to list the contents of the folder. This allows to get the names of all the files datalog, and then use a loop FOR to read.

    No one is obliged to provide 500 names of files manually - that's why we use a programming language to let the computer do the stupid work

    Yes, you can.

    Open the text/SMS message > Menu > front > enter your recipient first name > when you select that name, you should immediately see another ' TO: ' entrance open. Proceed to the second entry, etc.

    I think there could be a limit of eight or ten (I forget exactly how much).

    There is a way to make more, involving the use of 'Groups' in your address book. If you need this info, just ask.
