Hi. Sometimes we get PDF's that have all boxes (crop, trim, etc) same size but they're not supposed to be, let's say I have 210 x 297 mm design, that needs bleeds, and it's supposed to be:
Trim: 210x297mm
Bleed: 216x303mm,

what happens is some inexperienced people put trim and bleed at 216x303mm in which case, I can't know what is the correct size for design supposed to be.

What I want to do: I want to pull trim box size from pdf's name, example: "print_this_now_210x297mm.pdf" - My plan is to just pull the last sequence of numbers from the file name, and have Size A: 210, Size B: 297, does anyone know how can I put those two into variables? Is this possible without scripting? If not, perhaps anyone got any example that would get me on the right track?

Thanks.

You could use a Regular Expression to extract the part of the filename you need and write these into Private Data. Then use the Private Data as your variable.

You can search in the filename: Then use the app Metatagger to write it to private data https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/metatagger.
