Support Archive files (zip, rar, ..)

[nescafe]

Could you kindly consider implementing the following feature in this application module:

File
New Document
Combine Files into a Single PDF
Currently supported actions: Add Files..., Add Folder...

I would like the following action to be added: Add Archive...
This function would behave the same as Add Folder... with a archive file selection dialog and with the same set of options:

Add Files from Archive Options
☑ Ask for suitable file extensions after choosing a source archive
☑ Include Subfolders
☑ Select file types that should be added while searching files/folders
☑ All Supported Files (*.pdf, *.xps, ...)

This would benefit a scenario where documents can be downloaded from an external system, but have to extracted before feeding into PDF-XChange. Also the file modification dates as stored in the Zip file are relevant for sorting and not supported by Windows Explorer - forcing the user to install a third party application e.g. 7-Zip to keep files in their chronological order.

Typical list of file types to support would be: *.zip, *.tar, *.tar.gz, *.tgz, *.rar, *.bz2, *.lzh, *.7z, ..

Hello nescafe,

Welcome to our forums!
I am afraid that supporting those file formats is outside of the scope of our products, and there are no plans for us to natively support such Archive formats.

Kind regards,
Stefan
