Stamp <filename> variable is not working Printed From: www.exp-systems.com Category: PDF reDirect Forum Name: Using PDF reDirect Forum Discription: Questions and Comments on using PDF reDirect Freeware and Pro URL: http://www.exp-systems.com/Forum_exp/forum_posts.asp?TID=852 Printed Date: 22 Nov 24 at 5:59PM Topic: Stamp <filename> variable is not working Posted By: ithero1 Subject: Stamp <filename> variable is not working Date Posted: 25 Jan 12 at 11:52AM Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the feature. I have a number of PDF files that I need to add the filename of the PDF as a header on the new output file. When I use the batch print to add <filename> it generates text but with FILE+(a random number) as opposed to the actual filename. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks Replies: Posted By: Michel_K17 Date Posted: 25 Jan 12 at 8:18PM Hi,    Hopefully, I will have an explanation for you.    Before I begin, just a reminder that automatic filenaming is done by specifying "<AUTOMATIC>" rather than "<filename>"    The <AUTOMATIC> substitutes the filename provided in the printer output file. Some programs such as MS Office does a great job of providing the filename in that field. Other programs provide the name of the program only. Other programs leave that field blank.    When the field is blank, I substitute "Doc_Name_Unknown" as the filename since I don't know what the filename is.    The numbers after might be a sequence number. Please check the Trailer Digits and PDF Overwrite settings.    I hope that helps.    Cheers! ------------- Michel Korwin-Szymanowski EXP Systems LLC
