Would like to automate the process of hyperlinking pdf documents

I've been tasked with finding a solution to the following problem:
A need has arisen where I work where large PDF files (commonly > 2000 pages) need to be hyper-linked. The PDF files are in fact Brief's of Evidence (prosecution files) and are generally in a particular format and order. Generally, the order is as follows: 1. Various index documents, 2. Witness statements and 3. Exhibit documents. Usually there are many more exhibit documents than there are witness statements.
In each witness statement, the witness may refer to an many exhibit documents and it's this reference that needs to be hyper-linked to the particular exhibit document (located many pages away).   As a standard each exhibit is allocated an exhibit number, commencing at 1 but displayed as "0001". The filename of the individual exhibit is accordingly named, "0001.pdf" Using Adobe Professional (version 7) these files are merged and as a consequence bookmarks are automatically created.
What tools from Adobe are available that will assist with programmatically or automatically scanning (checking) each witness statement (a pdf document) and where relevant predetermined (however that's done or achieved) areas (exhibit references) are required to be hyperlinked to their respective document many pages away.
Is this doable?   Are there developer kits available?
Any advice appreciated.
Regards,
Steven Taylor

Acrobat can't do what you want out of the box.  It needs a plug-in that can do that.  Have a look at this third party plug-in for Acrobat:  AutoBookmark™ Plug-in for Adobe® Acrobat® / Create and Manage PDF Bookmarks, Links and Destinations   It has a trial version so you can test it to see if it meets your needs.

  • I would like to automate the installation of FireFox to an alternate directory.

    I am trying to automate the installation of FireFox to my servers drive "F:" but I have not found a way to script this option. Typical Windows installations would use the INSTALLDIR= option, but this does not work. I have seen several different spins on setting options (like the home page) but none of these scripts seem to address my issue.

    When you download the installer, you can specify the install location. Once installed, any updates should also install in that location.

  • Automate the process of saving Framemaker documents (*.fm) as Xml Files

    Hi,
    I am new to framemaker. We have a list of Framemaker document files (*.fm files) coming  into a folder.  We need to pick up these files and convert to xml format (same as the saveAs opertion from the File menu).
    I have written the follwing function to Save fm files to xml
    Code to Save fm files to xml files
    function saveAsXml (doc) {
       // Get required parameters for the save function.
        var params = GetSaveDefaultParams();
        var returnParamsp = new PropVals();
        // Replace the .fm extension with .mif.
        var saveName = doc.Name.replace (/\.[^\.\\]+$/,".xml");
        var i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FileType);
        params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_SaveFmtXml;
        // Save the document as XML.
        doc.Save(saveName, params, returnParamsp);
    How to automate this process so that code checks -
    1) New fm files in the folder
    2) Saves the fm file as xml
    3) Moves the saved fm file to a different folder
    Thanks,

    Have a look at the sample script below. The "while" loop waits for the specified number of milliseconds, then reads the contents of a directory and processes every individual file in the directory. In my example, it just prints the file path to the console. You would replace this part with your Open / Save as / Move sequence.
    For more file system commands, refer to Adobe's Javascript Tools Guide, "File object functions".
    var stop = false;
    while( stop==false ) {
        // Wait for 20.000 ms
        $.sleep(20000);
        var fld = new Folder("c:/incoming");
        var filesInFld = fld.getFiles("*.fm");
        for(var f=0; f < filesInFld.length; f++) {
            // process the individual file
            $.writeln(filesInFld[f]);
        // Exit the  loop after 19:00
        var time = new Date();
        if( time.getHours() > 19 ) stop = true;

    You can restore your iPad with your iPhone backup but items that are iPhone only will not transfer.  It should recreate all your folders.  It can't hurt anything to try.

  • Would like to automate open stacks as layers + run action. Possible with script??

    I would like to automate part of my workflow that involves opening stacked images as layers in Ps CS5 and running an PS action that composites the layers and processes the image. Something similar to 'Process Collection' in Bridge CS5 only with my own action instead of merge to HDR/Panorama.
    Apparently this is possible with Mac 'Automator' - is there anything I can do in Windows? I don't have any experience with writing scripts, but have friends that can help. Can someone tell me if its possible and point me in the right direction please?

    Sorry but a script can not access Lightroom so your first step isn't possible.
    Second step is Lightroom not Photoshop.
    Maybe something could be done if you could work out a Photoshop Only workflow.

    Step 1
    Remove "MacKeeper" as follows.
    "MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
    Failure to remove MacKeeper will result from neglecting any one of these points:
    Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    Don't empty the Trash after dragging the application to it. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
    Don't try to drag the MacKeeper icon in the Dock to the Trash.
    Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.
    Step 2
    Restore from the last backup that predates the unwanted changes.

  • I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad.   How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream.

    I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad.   How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream?

    You can create a Quicktime movie slideshow of the book's pages and share that. Here's how to get your book into an iPhoto slideshow and then export as a Quicktime video:
    1 - While viewing the book type Command+P to start the print process.
    2  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    Note:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    3 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    4 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. Immediately select all of the photos in the new album and sequentially renumber them as "Page  " using the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with the option to add a sequential number to each title.  This is to let you put the pages back in the correct order in the event they get sorted incorrectly.
    Now you can proceed as follows: create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large (480p with iPhoto 9),
    Happy New Year

  • How to automate the process of Uploading RPD ?

    Hi All,
    I am on 11.1.1.6.0 and Windows server 2008. What I am wanting to do is to automate the process of uploading the repository on my development server and restarting the server automatically. And I want this to happen 3 times a day at specified intervals. For ex, I want that automatically, at 6:00 AM, 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM everyday my MUD repository should be uploaded to my development BI server without any manual intervention whatsover.
    I know this can be done using the wlst sctipts. I have couple of questions around that will appreciate if anybody can answer both of them.
    1. I don't know and understand the language which wlst scripts use. And even if somebody gives a ready script I should be able to understand that. So the question is from where can I learn that language. Like for BIP, we can learn xslt from w3 schools. How can i do for wlst tool/ scripts?
    2. Lets say I learned the language and created a script abc.py which uploads the repository. But How will that be automatically called or run on my Development Server? By a windows batch script? If yes, then who will run that windows batch script ? Do I need to manually run that? Or running of Windows Batch script can also be automated and can be run at specified intervals as I want?
    I'll appreciate if somebody can explain me this in detail.
    Thanks,
    Ronny
