Automatically renaming pdf.file

Hi,
Does anyone kowns if the following question is possible?
My scanned documentation gets automatically a file name like for example SKM 217362342 etc. These are PDF.files which I then open with adobe acrobat and then I run OCR.
After that I want to save them with a name coming automatically from the pdf.file. For instance the invoice number.
I am not so good in English but I hope you understand my question.
Thanks in advance

My problems is I send some PDF files to my own email account from my NB. So this way I can transfer these files w/o using iTunes. But when I was opening my email on iPad, some of the files became PDF files by itself. The reason I want to keep them in PDF is because this way I can organize better on iPad; otherwise it will be all in saved photos. It will be too hard to find the file I need.
Thank you

Automatically renaming pdf files based on excel data

I am creating pdf certificates using variable data from excel files with InDesign. This creates a multipage pdf file with a different persons name on each page. Then end result needs to be individual pdf files named for each person. I can extract the single pages out of the main pdf ending up with however many files all named the same thing besides a number at the end of the common file name. Question: Is there a automated process of renaming the individual files using the data from the excel file?

You're looking for a PDF Parser or PDF miner tool (PDFminer) as a starting framework, and you'll almost certainly be writing custom code around that as parsing a text file that's effectively free-form and originating from multiple different sources almost always (always?) involves writing customized processing code and an on-going series of tweaks as the suppliers of the PDF change their ticket formats. (Even apparently-simple details such as the time and date formats, for instance, can vary by geography and language and by supplier, and can derail common processing.)
In some cases that I can envision, it'd be entirely possible that the data you're after is actually located in an embedded image and not in text that can be parsed.
The best approach is to get folks to send you JSON or XML or some other format intended for interchange, and avoid the whole mess that is parsing or mining a printer-oriented format.
The other obvious option is to use something like Amazon's Mechanical Turk or some other explicitly outsourced help. Depending on how often the formats change and how many of these PDF files you're dealing with and how varied the formats are, sometimes throwing staff at the problem can be the most cost-effective approach.

How to Automate Compressing PDF files in a Watched Directory

I want to automatically compress PDF files as they get placed into a watched directory. I would like the compressed files placed in another directory and have the original file either deleted or place in another directory. If Acrobat Pro X can do this, how do I set it up.

I noticed that Acrobat Distiller will watch an input directory and move files to an output directory. I tried using Distiller to compress a PDF file, but all it did was move the PDF file to the out directory without doing any compression. Is there any way that Distiller could be configured to do what I want?
I also called the number listed on the Adobe web site for LiveCycle products. They told me they don't sell their product to non government companies and they referred me to 4 Point to get further info. I called them and only got a voice mail. I'm waiting for a call back.
I found a product that does exactly what I need. It is called PdfCompressor Professional Edition. But, it costs more than what I want to spend. I'm guessing that LiveCycle will cost more than I want to spend also. If there are any other products that cost less than $150, I would like to know what they are.

Help renaming pdf files based on internal content

I work for a company that has thousands of E-tickets coming in daily, weekly, monthly, etc..
These tickets come in bafhakfbaifh.pdf and we have to manually rename them or print them all out and then sort through them and put them in order.
What I would like to do is:
1. Split any pdf's that have more than one page or "ticket" in my case. I know how to do this with automator easily, but I'd love to keep it all in one program.
2. Search the file for Event Name (i.e. Madonna)
3. Search the file for Date of event (August 12, 2012)
4. Search the file for Section, Row, Seat (124 3 12)
5. Rename the file based on content found (Madonna August 12 2012 124 3 12.pdf)
6. Move from original download folder to organized folders based on artist/team.
7. Automatically print in alphabetical or some sort of designated order.
Any help is muchly appreciated. So far, I found a PC program called A-PDF rename, but it is not automated enough to be practical. Hazel is awesome at OCRing the pdf and moving from folder to folder, but does not do enough.
Any help is muchly appreciated.
Thank you.

How can i change the settings so that before download the firefox gives a propmt that same file name already exists, instead of automatically renaming duplicate files by adding .1 suffix?

When I download a file, if a file of similar name already exists in the same download folder, the firefox downloads the file and renames it by adding numeric .1 to the file name.
I want the firebox to give me a prompt that similar file already exist, rather than automatically renaming it by adding suffix .1.

Remote print form automatically to pdf files

Hi everyone,
    The user want to implement a request like follows:
    1. quotation will send to a webservice for approval.
    2. when the quotation is approved, webservice will call a RFC to update the status of this quotation in SAP.
    The problem start here.
    3. inside the RFC call, SAP need to print the Quotation FORM automatically to a PDF file which will be named using Document No. date and time. Then a record need to be sent to another CRM with the PDF as an attachment.
    Is there any way to solve this requirements?
   The biggest question for me is how to tigger the form print and print it into pdf.
Thanks for prompt response
Regards
Sean

Hi Sean
It is possible like this:
Maintain two output types for the same program of form output.
1. Maintain output type as EDI i.e. Idoc from SAP to Webservice. Say Output type ZWEB.
2. Once approved by webservice, call RFC to update SAP. This RFC will responsible to trigger second output type, say ZPDF.
ZPDF will trigger in sales order with transmission medium as 5- external send having name using "Document No. date and time" (this can be achieve by ABAP program for smartform). This e-mail will sent to e-mail id provided with PDF attachment.
Please discuss with ABAP consultant having good command in Smartforms.

Rename PDF file attachment

Is it possible to submit a form via email as a whole PDF but rename the PDF attachment in the process? I am using Acrobat X. I would like to set the PDF file name attachment to the value of a form field.

Yes, I have access but the local machine of every user is a mobile device (specifically an iPad). So I don't think that's possible. So this cannot be done via JavaScript when a button is pressed before the submit operation takes place? The iPad app does allow the execution of JavaScript in the PDF.
--- NEW CODE GOES HERE TO RENAME THE PDF ---
this.submitForm({
    cURL:strMailTo,
    aFields: aSubmitFields,
    cSubmitAs: "PDF"

Can you sell automatic download pdf files with MUSE?

I have a web site where I sell pdf files. I am currently using shopify but am not thrilled with their web deisgns.
Is there a way (either through an app or widget) to sell pdf files? I would need the files to be immediate available for buyers upon check out.
Also, I need to have their files available to them for a set time within their accounts. Is that possible?
TIA for any help

We use e-junkie, which hosts our files, $5/month. Great pop-up shopping cart. Download automatic, with pdf stamping.
Seamless with Muse.
But they don't offer page designs though.

Can you rename pdf files in ibooks?

I download many PDF files onto my iPad to read using iBooks. But the PDF files are stored on the iPad with non-meaningful names (like QL-BHZfG9dl). Is there any way to rename these things so that I know (without opening them) what the files are??

Automatically merging PDF files based on conditions

Hello
I need to be able to setup a job with some basic parameters to automatically merge multiple PDF’s.
For the following group of files:
1_a.pdf
1_b.pdf
2_a.pdf
2_b.pdf
3_a.pdf
3_b.pdf
I need to be able to append the pages in the "_b" files to the start of the "_a" files using the number at the start as the match identifier.
I think the safest method would be to output a new "_c" file and maintain the original files.
I can see functionality to manually do this or merge a group of files into 1 but I need to automate this to deal with larger volumes.
Do I need additional software? Any suggestions on how to do this?
Appreciate any help.
Cheers

Automate combining PDF files based on a text list of URL's

I'm wondering how I could automate the combination of PDF files into one, using a list a URL's in a text file (one URL per line, each pointing to a PDF file).
I need to periodically rebuild a combination of PDF files, with the URL's staying the same, but the files behind getting updated. I'm not a Javascript developer, so I'm doing that "manually" by copying and pasting each URL into the "Combine Files" window, but it would be great if I could get Acrobat to read them off a text file.
Thanks!
Corrected typo

I have developed a script that can do just that, but with locally saved PDF
files:

It might be possible to adjust it to do what you describe. If you're

How can I get Safari 5.1.2 to automatically open pdf files on web pages by using Adobe Reader?

Safari 5.1.2 always opens pdf files on web pages as a single frame and thus it will not print properly. How can I get Safari to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader 10.1.1?

Carolyn,
Thanks for sending your suggestion on how to solve my problem. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I trashed the file, quit and relaunched Safari, but the problem remained the same. Although it did not work, I do appreciate that you took the time to try to help me.
Thanks.

It automatically change PDF file to photos

Safari does not automatically open pdf files.

After updating Acrobat to 7.0.5, Safar no longer auromattically opens pdf files, when I click to open a pdf on the web. Every time it asks me which application do I want to use. When I select 7.0.5 it works fine. When I open a pdf from a the finder it opens the proper version and Get Info shows the proper association.
I cannot find how to fix the association in Safari.
Thanks for you suggestions.

Hi, Jim. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. Quit Safari if it is open.
2. In Acrobat, select Help > Detect and Repair.
3. Select or deselect the options in the resulting window, as desired, assuring that<pre>__ Adobe PDF Viewer
View and edit Adobe PDF within Safari</pre>is selected.
4. Click Continue.
5. Type your Admin Password when prompted, click OK.
6. You should get a message indicating that "missing components were repaired."
7. Launch Safari and open a PDF on the Web to see if it's fixed.
FYI: Questions regarding Safari should be posted to the Safari Discussion.
Good luck!
