PDF-Tools SDK: question about batch processing API

Post by DevIntegration »

Hello everyone,

I am integrating the PDF-Tools SDK into our document workflow and have a question about the batch processing API. Specifically, I need to understand how the file processing queue works with multiple concurrent operations.

The documentation mentions asynchronous processing but I would appreciate some clarification on the implementation details.

Thank you for your help.

Hello, DevIntegration

I am not certain on how to go about this in the SDK products, but our end user products allow this via a simple command line implementation.
  • example, in Cmd:

    start "" /wait "C:\Program Files\PDF-XChange\PXCTools.exe" /RunTool "pdft.tool.filesToPDF"
    start "" /wait "C:\Program Files\PDF-XChange\PXCTools.exe" /RunTool "pdft.tool.overlayDoc"

    in PowerShell:

    Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\PDF-XChange\PXCTools.exe" -ArgumentList '/RunTool', '"pdft.tool.filesToPDF"' -Wait
    Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\PDF-XChange\PXCTools.exe" -ArgumentList '/RunTool', '"pdft.tool.overlayDoc"' -Wait
I have asked the Dev team to pop in here with more details about handling these scenarios via the API.

Kind regards,
