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:

limagito file mover pdf as destination

The new option is available after you add a ‘Output PDF File’ Action:

limagito file mover 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;
