Hi there Guys. I need help with something that will make my life a lot easier and save me steps. I work on manuals with various table of contents that contain bookmarks. They are basically cookie cutter jobs but here is what I am wondering:
Bookmarks are in numerical order and need to link to an individual PDF file in the same folder:
Example:
Bookmark 1: "1. Office Hours for ABC company dated 10/01/07." needs to link to a file called "1. Office Hours for ABC company dated 10/01/07.PDF".
Bookmark 2: "1. Healthcare Benefits for ABC company dated 09/30/07." needs to link to a file called "1. Healthcare Benefits for ABC company dated 09/30/07.PDF".
ETC.
Also, the file names have to be shortened to 75 characters or less most of the time due to cd burning software. So soemtimes (or most of the time) the file name is much shorter than the original bookmark name.
Is there some sort of code that I can use to batch process the Table of Contents file to find bookmark that starts with "1. [full bookmark name]" and open file that starts with "1. [truncated bookmark name].PDF"
then
with "2. [full bookmark name]" and open file that starts with "2. [truncated bookmark name].PDF"
and so on maybe through
with "200. [full bookmark name]" and open file that starts with "200. [truncated bookmark name].PDF"
THANKS SO MUCH... ANY HELP AT ALL WILL BE AWESOME. Also, let me know how much it would cost if you know someone who could write the code for me.
PS: I can use ARTS-PDF software for batchprocessing. I use Acrobat 5.0. I really have no reason to upgrade for my purposes, but will if needed. I use a lot of keystroke features in 5.0 that are easier to use than in the later versions.
later!!
THANKS AGAIN!!!!! BE WELL
