How to email a list of filenames after pdf split
Email list of filenames after pdf split
Q: I was wondering if there was a way to add the file names from a pdf split to VSA, much like you can when unzipping.
I’d like to send an email confirmation on completion when pdfs are sent through this workflow. The PDF’s will vary in page counts, and the recipients are non-technical users.
Below is a log file, from which I’d like to send an email like:
“the following files have been sent:
cmg_tabloid_NT_SP1_20231026_001_S.pdf
cmg_tabloid_NT_SP1_20231026_002_S.pdf
cmg_tabloid_NT_SP1_20231026_003_S.pdf
cmg_tabloid_NT_SP1_20231026_004_S.pdf
cmg_tabloid_NT_SP1_20231026_005_S.pdf
cmg_tabloid_NT_SP1_20231026_006_S.pdf
cmg_tabloid_NT_SP1_20231026_007_S.pdf
cmg_tabloid_NT_SP1_20231026_008_S.pdf”
Can I add a destination variable like %VSA
—
A: We added a new option in our ‘PDF as Destination’ to achieve this, available since version v2023.10.29.0 (29th of October 2023).
Open (or add) your PDF as Destination:
The new option is available after you add a ‘Output PDF File’ Action:
We enabled ‘Split Pages’ and selected ‘Filename(s)’ as ‘Output successful files to %VSA var’.
Now you can use the %VSA var in your email setup, it will contain the splitted files when the new option is selected.
We did a test and this is the email we received when using %VSA as body of the email;
Feedback customer:
Thank you for this. The speed that you knock out feature request is unparalleled.

Sign a PDF using SmartCard or HSM
Sign a PDF using SmartCard or HSM (Hardware Security Module) added in Limagito File Mover v2023.0.11.6
In this example we are going to a sign a PDF using a Smartcard or HSM (hardware security module).
As source we are going to use a Windows folder [WIN]:
Be sure to only allow .pdf files. Please set the Include Filename Filter:
Add ‘SIGN’ as Destination
Setup ‘SIGN’ as Destination. The default setup has 5 ‘actions’:
Select the first Action ‘Load PDF to be signed’ and an extra tab will appear in the top menu bar. Select this ‘Pdf Load’ tab.
The default setup here is %SFP%SFN which translates to Source File Path and Source File Name. In most cases you don’t need to change this.
Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Options for PDF signing’ in the Action list and next ‘Pdf Options’ Tab.
Enable ‘Set Signing Certifcate V2 attribute’ (is enabled by default)
Enable ‘Set Signing Time attribute’ (is enabled by default)
Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Appearance of the PDF signature’ in the Action list and ‘Pdf Signature’ Tab.
We used the ‘Custom-JPG’ to add a custom logo at the left side of the signature. We also have a couple of built-in graphics available.
Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Load certificate for PDF signing’ in the Action list and ‘Pdf Certificate’ Tab.
We are going to use a Smartcard or HSM (hardware security module) so we keep the ‘Certificate File’ field empty.
Enable ‘Use load from Smartcard’
Set the Smartcard CSP option
Load the certificate on the smartcard currently in the reader (or on the USB token).
Leave this field empty to allow us to automatically choose the CSP (Cryptographi Service Provider).
Set the Smartcard PIN (password)
Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Sign and save the PDF’ in the Action list and ‘Pdf Signing’ Tab.
Next we enabled the Rule and triggered it manually:
Result of the RunTime Log:
Signed PDF result:
#FileTransfer #pdf #smartcard #hsm
If you need any info about this new ‘Sign a PDF using SmartCard or HSM’ option, please let us know.
Best regards,

Sign PDF with Timestamp from Timestamp Server Authority
Sign PDF with Timestamp from Timestamp Server Authority (TSA) with Limagito File Mover version 2023
In this example we are going to a sign a PDF that is both long-term validation (LTV) enabled and includes a validating timestamp from a Timestamp Server Authority (TSA).
As source we are going to use a Windows folder [WIN]:
Be sure to only allow .pdf files. Please set the Include Filename Filter:
Add ‘SIGN’ as Destination
Setup ‘SIGN’ as Destination. The default setup has 5 ‘actions’:
Select the first Action ‘Load PDF to be signed’ and an extra tab will appear in the top menu bar. Select this ‘Pdf Load’ tab.
The default setup here is %SFP%SFN which translates to Source File Path and Source File Name. So in most cases you don’t need to change this.
Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Options for PDF signing’ in the Action list and next ‘Pdf Options’ Tab.
Enable ‘Set Signing Certifcate V2 attribute’ (is enabled by default)
Enable ‘Set Signing Time attribute’ (is enabled by default)
Enable ‘Set Long-Term Validation (LTV Enabled)’
Enable ‘Request timestamp froma TSA server’ (Timestamp Server Authority)
Set the URL of the Timestamp server. We used: http://timestamp.digicert.com
Enable ‘Request TSA server to include its certificate in the timestamp response’
Ask the timestamp server to include its certificate in the timestamp token
Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Appearance of the PDF signature’ in the Action list and ‘Pdf Signature’ Tab.
We used the ‘Image options’ to add a green check mark at the left side of the signature. We have a couple of built-in graphics available but also a custom JPG is possible.
Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Load certificate for PDF signing’ in the Action list and ‘Pdf Certificate’ Tab.
We are using a .pfx file which is a combined certificate and private key file type.
Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Sign and save the PDF’ in the Action list and ‘Pdf Signing’ Tab.
Next we enabled the Rule and triggered it manually:
Result of the RunTime Log:
Signed PDF result:
We have added quite some options already but we are open to new ideas. Please let us know if you need any help.
