Importing hole folder of PDF

Featured Replies

Hello again, I understand how to insert PDF`s into container, greating a path to that file in "insert file" and open it with FM, but is there any way to insert a whole folder of PDF`s there so that I could open the PDF files in it one after another in FM without allways greating the path to every single files? Any particular script?

Help help!!

You'll need a combination of OS scripting and FM scripting.

Look at this demo I've posted to get a list of all files from a folder: http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/173921/

you can easily change that to return a list of PDFs only.

If you're using FM8 you can use variables in the "insert file" dialog, so you'd create a loop in your script to set the variable to the path of each PDF in the folder and do the insert.

With FM7 it's more complex. You need one hard coded file reference in the "insert file" script step and you'll need more OS scripting to copy/rename each file in the folder to match that hard coded file reference and then do the import script.
