Submit point to create sequential numbered PDF

Post by abonsey »

Hi All,
I have a submit point with metadata that needs applying to a single page PDF and repeating multiple times to create a multi-page PDF. Most fields are generic but the last 2 parts specify a record count start number and how many additional pages are required.
So image 'Customer A' and 'Client A' are applied repeatedly but there must then be a start number, say 150, and an additional 100. Therefore the PDF would end up being 100 pages with Customer A and Client A on every page, along with the first page showing '150' on it and the last page showing '250'

Any thoughts on how to do this with Pitstop actions, scripts or using something like HP Smartstream designer?
Has anybody got something like this working already and care to share?

TIA

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I would use the Duplicate pages app to duplicate your 1 page file to n pages (one of your submit point variables).
Then apply an action list to add all your text variables on each page, Customer A and Client A.
For the numbering, use the “Add page number” action. You can specify the first page number (another one of your submit point variables).

FYI, you also can generate numbering in Switch using this app https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/counter
