Scripting Solid PDF Tools to Create PDF Files.

Solid PDF Tools Scan to PDF has many more features than any other PDF creation utility we have ever released. One of its new features is the ability to create PDF files via scripts.

We've added this feature because many of our customers have very repetitive tasks (invoicing, for example) and they need tools that may be automated to help perform them.

If you haven't read our first post on scripting with Solid Documents products we recommend that you do so now so that you can understand how to use the scripts below.

This script shows how to create PDF files from an array of two Word DOCs:

<</Input [(c:\\temp\\input1.doc) (c:\\temp\\input2.doc)]
   /Output [(c:\\temp\\output1.pdf) (c:\\temp\\output2.pdf)]
   >> Create
Exit

This isn't limited to just two files; you can do this for many more if needed:

<</Input [(c:\\temp\\input1.doc) 
   (c:\\temp\\input2.doc)
   (c:\\temp\\input3.doc)
   (c:\\temp\\input4.doc)
   (c:\\temp\\input5.doc)
   (c:\\temp\\input6.doc)
   (c:\\temp\\input7.doc)]

   /Output [(c:\\temp\\output1.pdf)
   (c:\\temp\\output2.pdf)
   (c:\\temp\\output3.pdf)
   (c:\\temp\\output4.pdf)
   (c:\\temp\\output5.pdf)
   (c:\\temp\\output6.pdf)
   (c:\\temp\\output7.pdf)]
   >> Create
Exit
