How-To Merge PDF Files using PDF as Destination
Merge PDF Files
A little how to merge pdf files using LimagitoX File Mover.
We prepared the following Source folder with 8 single PDF pages numbered from 1 to 8.
Selected WIN as Source and added the folder above as Input.
In the Schedule Setup select the Advanced Tab. Set ‘Source File Sort Order’ to ‘Filename ascending (A to Z)’.
Set the File Name Filter to only include PDF files ( *.pdf ). Just to be sure.
Add PDF as Destination
In the PDF Setup screen, add a PDF Action. Set this action to ‘Output PDF File’. We also changed the ‘Description’ to ‘Merge PDF Files’.
Select the ‘Output’ Tab and set the Output Directory. Enable ‘Merge Pages’ and select ‘Last Ascending’ as ‘Insert Pages Position.
Select the ‘Rename’ Tab and enable ‘Rename Files during Copy/Move’.
Renaming Setup. This one is very important. We need a UNIQUE filename as result for all source pdf files you want to merge.
In our example we want to merge: IntroXFM.1.pdf until IntroXFM.8.pdf
So for all of these 8 files we need a unique output file. We separated the source file in 3 parts. Each part was separated by a dot. As replacement we took the first en third part which results in a unique filename for all of the 8 source files (IntroXM.pdf). Because due to this renaming it finds the file already in the destination and will merge the next source pdf file to it.
Result: Multipage PDF file in the Output folder.

If you need any help, just let us know. Don’t hesitate to ask.

Pascal Script, Creating a text file

Dear users,

Simple Pascal Script to create a txt file containing the files handled by our file mover.

1 Add PS as Destination

2. Add the following Pascal Script. Don’t forget to adjust the ctOutputPath and ctOutputFilename.

Var
  tmpList: TStringList;
  tmpFile: String;
Const
  ctOutputPath = 'C:\Test\Out\';
  ctOutputFilename = 'Info.txt';
Begin
  psExitCode:= 1;
  // Init Var
  tmpFile := ctOutputPath + ctOutputFilename;

  tmpList := TStringList.Create;
  Try
    psLogWrite(1, '', 'Add ' + psfilePath + psFileName + ' to ' + tmpFile);
    If FileExists(tmpFile) Then
      tmpList.LoadFromFile(tmpFile);
    tmpList.Append(psFilePath + psFilename);
    tmpList.SaveToFile(tmpFile);
  Finally
    tmpList.Free;
  End;
End.

Regards,
Pascal

How-To Print PDF Files using PDF as Destination
Print PDF Files
In version v2019.11.17.0 we’ve added an option to print PDF files.
Don’t forget to add a Filename filter so only PDF files as Source will be handled (*.pdf).
PDF as Destination. Multiple ‘PDF Actions’ can be added. Each Action can be Enabled/Disabled.
There is a possibility to select the pages within the PDF Source File.
All Pages
Odd Pages
Even Pages
Custom Pages
Some info about the ‘Custom Pages’ selection.
Separate the Pages using a comma ( i.e. 1,2,3 )
0 = last page
-1 = last page minus 1
m = middle page(s)
> Print Page 1 and 2 of a multi page PDF file as Source
> Print Setup options Tab
You can use the Default printer or select on of the available printer devices on your system.
After selection click on the ‘+’ button. This will add the selected printer to the Device Name field. The Device Name field is used as custom printer when ‘Use Default Printer’ is disabled.
As always, feedback would be much appreciated.
