Hello Daniel,

With the current update, I run again as it should.

Thank you very much and just keep it up.

Thank you for your reply. I'll wait for the update.

Thank you for the great program.

Hello Vladimir, here is the logfile: [29.04.2025, 19:23:44] ----- Werkzeug "ExportBookmark" gestartet ----- [29.04.2025, 19:23:44] > Quelldateien auswählen [29.04.2025, 19:23:44] < Quelldateien auswählen [29.04.2025, 19:23:44] > Lesezeichen in Textdatei exportieren [29.04.2025, 19:23:44] I...

Hello Vladimir,

I'm unfortunately having the same problems with the direct call, both with the standard tool and the custom tool. It worked once, but then it stopped working. I'll test it again this evening and send you the log file.

Please try to obtain it's current name and see if that helps?

The tool name remains the same. I had already checked that.

Maybe, that is the same Problem like here? viewtopic.php?t=45625

Hi everyone, I've noticed that the PDFTools command (Export Bookmarks) is no longer working properly. I want to run this command via VBNet. It's always worked before, but yesterday I noticed something has changed. Can anyone help me? Here are my previous instructions: [img]https://i.postimg.cc/RVTKB...

Hello @Chinnok, so then something must be going wrong in your program. Excel is so fast, that can't be the problem. I would - turn off screen refresh - use range references and don't jump to the Excel cells (macro recorder is death here) But that's all just speculation on my part. You can try to tri...

Nimrod_189

By the way, as I mentioned, I am still having trouble copying the JavaScript actions when copying fields. See the image. Is there any way to copy fields completely, including scripts and layer settings? It would greatly help me with the 'hard' setting of the export order of fields. Thank you very m...

Hello Daniel,

i'm using the XChange-Pro.

Nimrod_189

Hello Daniel,

That is a fantastic function. I didn't know them yet.

I think I really have to deal with the XCHANGE viewer!

I am always thrilled.

In VBA I always use PDFtk. This allows you to make various edits or obtain information about PDF. The call batch-command would then be: E:\Programmtools\PDFtk Server\bin\pdftk MyPDF.pdf dump_data output PageCount.txt The result is a txt file that can easily be read with the following command: iFile ...

Nimrod_189

That's really sad to hear, because I would like to do everything with one tool. I do use the IText framework in VBNet sometimes, but it's very complicated. So sometimes I need the easier way.

But whatever, the goal is the way.

Nimrod_189

Hello Daniel, I solved my problem using the commandline tool "pdftk". I've worked with it before and it's still great. :D Here's my solution for VBNet: Sub ExtractPDFPages(sTargetPath As String, sSourcePDF As String, sDestFileName As String, listPages As List(Of String)) Dim strParam As St...

Nimrod_189

Hi guys,

is it possible to use the PDF tools to export one or more pages from a PDF file to a new file via command line?

I need this function for my private VBNet program.

Thank you very much.

Nimrod_189

Nimrod_189

Hello Daniel,

Thank you very much for the query.
But I've solved pretty much all of my problems. The only problem is the tooltips, but that's not so bad since I only use two buttons.

Nimrod_189

Nimrod_189

Now here is now my solution: var Icon = util.iconStreamFromImage("/C/Users/ama/AppData/Roaming/Tracker Software/PDFXEditor/3.0/JavaScripts/Icon/switch.png"); app.addSubMenu({ cName: "myRbTools", cUser: "My Ribbon Tools", cParent: "-", cRbParent: "Home&quo...

Nimrod_189

Hello folks, I've now managed to add two buttons to the "Home" tab. However, I have problems with a custom icon. When I load a utitl.iconStreamFromIcon no buttons are created for me. However, if I use the icon ID, everything works. I saved my icon in the .../Icon/icostubIcon.png directory....

Nimrod_189

So I found a script example “js_addRbMenuExample” from you, which works perfectly. I'm just going to work my way towards it slowly now. I also found the PDF file "PXCE menu-toolbar methods.pdf" in the forum. All parameters are explained in detail here. But maybe someone can tell me the exa...

Nimrod_189

Hello Stefan, Thank you for the info. I tried to add the button after online help, but unfortunately nothing happens here. Function SetPrintableStamp() { this.syncAnnotScan(); var aAnnots = this.getAnnots(); if (aAnnots!=null && aAnnots.length!=0) for (var i in aAnnots) if (aAnnots.print) {a...

Hello folks, can I insert my own menu buttons with Javascript code in the XChange viewer? I have developed the following solutions to my problem with stamps to set not printing: 1.

Thank you for your information.

Hello folks, If there is an easy way to insert a stamp for viewing. So the stamp should not be printed. Unfortunately, it is a bit cumbersome to only make the settings here via the properties. It would be nice if you could pre -configure the stamp. 1301010148_1_800x800.jpg Thank you in advance. Gree...

Nimrod_189

Wonderful, the program is simply awesome. I love it!

Thanks.

Hi guys,

is it possible to display two tabs side by side in one instance?

I can split a PDF file so that I can scroll independently. But now I would also like to compare 2 PDF tabs without opening a second instance.

Thank you very much.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

Many thanks for the help.

I'll test it once at the weekend.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

Hello folks,

Is there a way to print a PDF file with a command?

And is it possible to use a special printer?

Thanks.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

Hi Daniel, Hello, Nimrod_189 When you simply specify a folder location, we are at the mercy of the order which windows processes and forwards the files to us. Usually this is in alphabetical (or the most recently sorted) order, but on occasion windows will process one or two out of order simply beca...

Nimrod_189

I found the solution myself.

It seems so easy.
The export of bookmarks shows me the file structure and it's really simple.

I'll test it out at leisure.

Nimrod_189

Thank you for your help. Will there ever be a way that I can choose the order myself? Another question on this topic: Can I add the bookmarks later using a batch command? I also use IText, so I can easily determine the number of pages per file and can thus set the bookmarks. I already do the joining...

Nimrod_189

Hi Daniel, You have misunderstood me. I don't want to join all files in a folder. Rather, I list all the necessary files in a predetermined order and I want to pass this list on to the PDF tools. It always worked before an update, but suddenly it didn't anymore. It's not about opening PDF files for ...

Nimrod_189

Hello folks, I would like to join several files with the PDF-Tools and automatically insert bookmarks. However, the order specified by me should be strictly adhered to. As I understand it, I am not allowed to select batch processing and it is mandatory to select several CPUs. Unfortunately, my setti...

Nimrod_189

One possibility would be to export the pages one by one to a text file with the Xpdf tools (https://www.xpdfreader.com/download.html) (page by page) and extract these text files to find the appropriate pages. Now that you have found the relevant pages, you can use pdftk (https://www.pdflabs.com/tool...

Nimrod_189

Hello folks,

i found the solution
All you have to do is insert the stamp on a PDF document and then you can read the stamp name in the properties.

So very simple. I found it a few months ago too. But just forgot about it.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

Hello folks,
How can I find out the name of a Stamp in XChange viewer?

Code: Select all

event.source.stampName == "#caseandnumblue"

Thanks.

Hi Vladimir,

many thanks for the help.
Now my program works fine.

Thank you also for your great and fantastic program.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

Hello folks, Today I created a PDF tool that I can use to combine multiple PDF files into one file. The file names are saved as bookmarks. This works perfectly. But now I would like to call this PDF tool in a VBNet program. What exactly should the program call be? I hope someone can help me here. Th...

Nimrod_189

Sorry for my late reply.

Thank you for the information, I'll do that then.

Hallo Folks, Hello folks, I found that I get different compression results with the PDF tools and the Xchange viewer, although both start values are the same. With the PDF tool, compression is suddenly no longer carried out at all, while the XChange viewer does compress. Does anyone have an idea w...

Nimrod_189

Hi Paul,
many Thanks.

Yes indeed, the update to the current version seems to have fixed the problem.

Your program is just great and I love it.

Greeting Nimrod

Hallo TrackerSupp-Daniel,

i have send you a mail with the pdf-files.

Thank you for your help.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

Hi Guys,

I think it's fantastic that I can drag and drop individual pages directly from a file. However, if I paste the pages straight away into an Outlook email, the file is damaged. Is this a bug or is it due to Outlook?

Thanks very much.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

Many thanks for the help.

My problem isn't that important either, so that's done for me now.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

Thank you for your help, but unfortunately it doesn't work.

Since it is just a blemish, I will not pursue it further.

Nevertheless many thanks.

Nimrod_189

Hi Guys, I created a dynamic stamp and it works fine. However, there is a small blemish and I would like to have the OK button centered. But I just can't do it. I hope someone has an idea how I can do it. Here is my Dialogbox. Screenshot 2022-04-10 105146.png And here is the code: if (event.source.f...

Nimrod_189

I have found the command line on your help-site.

I will testing this and I hope I can solved my Problem.

Thanks for all and thanks for this great program.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

Thank you for the info.

I can understand the concerns and I think they are good. But it would be nice if there was a way add a batch command for doing this.

Or is it possible to run a PDF-Tool by Batch or VBSript?

That would be enough for me.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

Hello folks,

I would like to use the PDF tools to automatically compress files into a tmp directory after selection. That works great.

Now I always want to empty the directory first.

Does anyone know how to add a delete command to the batch statement?

Thanks.

Nimrod

Nimrod_189

sorry, wrong Forum.

Nimrod_189

Thank you!

You make my day.

Now, it works and I have a second printer.
