Get print size from PDF's name?
Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:48 am
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.
