PDF processor II - duplicates

[CharlesCollin91]

Hi Paul,

Thank you for these amazing scripts!

On the PDF processor II, I saw that when you put the settings to save into the orginal folder , yes it save the new file there, but also duplicate it into my destkop... I was wondering why ?

• a bug I found yesterday is : in a folder with many pdf, if one of them have only 1 page, and you set the option to all pages it will enter a neverending loop... major issue :/

Also, I would love to use the output folder option, but it didn't preserve my folder and sub-folder hierarchy. I don't know if it would be something difficult to implement.

Let me know how I can buy you a coffee. Saved me a lot of time.

Thank you,

I dont see this happening on OSX, perhaps output folder was set prior?

Well i see for that all pages, he uses some weird variable actually. He uses a 9999 number, with other scripts for say illustrator, if the pages isnt correct it stops or puts out an error. This script doesnt actually check if there is page

switch(win.g20.dd1.selection.index){
    case 0 : pageStart = 1; pageEnd = 2; break; //one page only
    case 1 : pageStart = 1; pageEnd = 9999; break; //all pages
    case 2 : pageStart = Number(win.g20.et1.text) ; pageEnd = (Number(win.g20.et2.text) + 1) ; break; //range of pages
    default : break;
    }

EDIT
I actually tried a single file use all pages and it does get exported, script runs no issues. Then tried a folder with single page PDF files and again used "all pages" as option. Still works fine, nothing hanging here on OSX. What OS and version of Photoshop are you on?

hi @schroef,
Thanks for taking time to answer !

(I'm on PC, latest vers. of psd 24.1.1)

I didn't check that option... and it seems that its only some sord of temporary files, they get replaced each time the script process another. file... Wierd still but not that annoying !

I remember 2 weeks ago I was struggling with this because when one of the pdfs (within one of my subfolders) was a single page, it automatically start Looping on this specific file and ruined the automatic process. Now I've tried to recreate the issue and can't... Hope it will stay like this.

I had a look on how to get source folder files and subfolders. I am able to get the hierarchy but have not tested yet in a test function to see if i can get it to work. I'll do some more testing if needed.

For that page issie, I'm not sure there is a fix. There is no code checking the amount of pages.
