Export to Image - File naming with macros query

Post by fiscal »

Hi,

I create a monthly pdf file of all of the invoices I send out.

I wish to export the invoices to jpg files for uploading to our web store, but I want them to be named using the invoice number and not by page number or auto number. Is there a way to make file names like 11225.jpg, 11226.jpg, etc etc.

It would be nice to be able to do an auto increment, but starting with my choice of number and not 01.

Thanks

Tony

Unfortunately, but no way for this.
You should use the "<Auto Number>" macros and rename all generated files manually(as post operation):
01.jpg -> 11225.jpg
02.jpg -> 11226.jpg
03.jpg -> 11227.jpg
...

Thanks Vasyl,

I thought that might be it. I don't suppose I could do it through the SDK for the viewer? Otherwise I can just build another utility in my app to rename the files.

See ya

Hi, Tony.

Feature for setup custom start for auto numbering will be added into the new version(V3).
Now you can use the custom utility only for renaming result-files.
