Trigger action to creat or pick up PDF

Post by Chrissigge »

Hello,
I want to trigger an action that pick up an PDF from a Folder every time an XML arrives,
that PDF should also be renamed with the XML Filename that triggered that action.

Is that possible without scripting? We have a scripting module but Im not (yet) familiar with it.

Thank you for your help.

You want to pickup the same pdf every time?

If not, is the name of the pdf in the xml file?

Both can be done without scripting :mrgreen:

With one slight addition: if the injected file keeps its own name, then there is no problem, but if it is named after the incoming job the injected PDF will also have the extension of the incoming job, in this case xml. That is not what you want. Add a rename after the inject to change the extension to pdf again and you are done.
