removing comments

Hi All,
We have PDFs supplied where the text looks like it should print but are actually "Comments". When sent to the press they are not there (as expected).
Is there a way to use preflight/actions to remove these comments so the proof reflects the actual print version.

TIA for any advice

Review Module and additional data

Hi All, I have a flow with the review module all fine and have the reviews comments enabled which allows the approver to put in additional text.

Re: Review Module - Original PDF input file

Unfortunately that's not really a starter as the PDF had already been through preflights and actions before being submitted for review so I don't want to do all that again.
Any other thoughts?

Review Module - Original PDF input file

We use the review module to sent out emails to clients. The original input was an XML that picks up the supplied file and wraps the XML round it as normal. The problem is that when the customer reviews the file and approves it the output from that process is the report file with the XML file. My add...

Re: Add password security to PDF

pdftk does the trick

We do this for client files.

Try installing pdftk.exe
The run the Execute Command using within the flow:

"%1" output "%2" user_pw XXXXX
File at Path
Copy Input Job = No
Output Extension = Automatic
Disregard Exit Code

Assembling a split and ungrouped job

I have a flow that splits a PDF into single pages and adds an _[index]. The PDF can be quite large ie _0001 to _1000 and bigger. I then ungroup the individuals and perform other actions on odds and even pages further in the flow before assembling the job back together based on the ungroup private da...

Re: split xml based on node name - SOLVED

With the help of Enfocus this is now solved. Below is the correct coding for those that are interested: You always have to bear in mind where the Xpath pointer is when you use href. The pointer is at /csv/entry, and as “field” is just below “entry” there must be no slash. The slash takes the pointer...
