HOW TO MAKE PDF EX-CHANNGE TO PICK UP QUANTITY OF SYMBOL IN PDF DRAWING PLAN OF ENGINEERING WORK

[Apichart]

"How can I use PDF-X-Change Editor to count or extract the number of different symbols, such as light fixtures, switches, and sockets, where each symbol has a different shape — and get a total count of each type of symbol on a specific page of the drawing?"

Similar to how it's done with images, the system can generate a count of each type of symbol

Hello Apichart,

We do not have such analytical tools in the Editor, and also your shapes might actually consist of several lines each.

However we do have a "counter" tool - so that you can e.g. manually try to do this count using say the attached stamps collection.
When you click on the document - each new stamp is with the next consecutive number:

Is there a possibility that these functions will be developed in the future, or that additional features will be introduced to support the type of usage I’ve mentioned?

A lot to read but maybe it helps.

Kind regards.

Hello, Apichart

I am sorry to say that beyond the Js method that is offered by Mathew in the forum topic Willy has provided a link to, we currently do not have plans to offer a counter function like this.

It is also worth noting that the functions in that topic are exclusive to comments, and cannot be used to count base content objects. This means that if the items you are looking to count are flattened, image based, or otherwise non-comment objects, that method would not work, and sadly we do not have plans for a counting function like it, at this time.

Kind regards,
