Custom name of merged PDFs

Post by JupiPupi »

Greetings, newbie hire.

Don't know if this is possible, I have searched for answer on help pages but couldn't find it.
I would like that exported file, that is merged from multiple PDFs have specific name.

Merged PDF file should be named like this:
word "Invoice" followed by a invoice numbers which are separated by comma.
those Invoice numbers are written on specific location, on first page of every PDF doc. that should be merged.

Example how should merged PDF file name look like: "Invoice 1,8,23,41,44,57,72,76,90,143,421"

What actions should I use? Where to start? :roll:

Hello, JupiPupi

Unfortunately there is no way to pull text from a document based on location for automation actions at this time. In this scenario, you will need to use a different naming scheme (such as the "auto number" macro).

Thanks for fast reply,

Ok, if its not possible to extract text from document based on location, is it possible to extract invoice number from filename and have same result? Because in filename I also have invoice number.
