Hi Stefan, I tested the official installer for both Editor and Tools. My workflow still works without crash. Thanks, Helge Hi Helge, We released build 323.1 last night, so please do download it from the website, and we are looking to a confirmation of all is fixed! The update tool needs some time to...

Hi Denis,

can you please tell when the working executable will be released officially.

Thanks,
Helge

Hi Dennis, I have good news. The test on another system (Win10, 64 bit) worked well too. The other system never ran a PDF workflow before so it was an ideal test environment. Important to note: When I tested with the official executable of PDFXTools the workflow ran well but this time PDFXTools cras...

Hi Dennis, on my system this works well. Also when I delete the workflow again in PDFXTools before I re-run the command. I will do one more test on a different system, hopefully tomorrow. Then I will give you another update here on how this worked out. Thanks and regards, Helge Hi Helge, please try ...

Hi Dennis, the tool gets imported. The first step of my tool/workflow is "choose input files". Another one is "Add digital signature" (with settings UI activated). Both dialogs don't appear. I assume that the tool/workflow is not being executed after import. Regards, Helge At the...

Hi Denis, with this file there's no crash. At the same time nothing else happens. I don't see the file selection dialog as set in the pdtex workflow file. Via the GUI it works as expected. Regards, Helge Hi Helge, try to replace your "Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Tools\PDFXTools.exe"...

Hi Denis, PDF Tools crashes also with the file you attached. My system info: OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393 Other OS Description Not Available OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Name ***** System Manufacturer LENOVO System Model 20CJS0EJ1K System Typ...

Hi Denis,

import works fine. Please find the respective file attached.

what tool do you import? Can you import the same file over UI Options->Import Tools?
If it is possible, attach the file so I can try to reproduce the issue.

Best regards

Hi Denis, I'm sorry, I had overlooked that with V7 the program path has changed. Now with the adjusted path I'm facing another issue nevertheless: PDF Tools crashes immeditately when I run the following command: "C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Tools\PDFXTools.exe " "C:\Users\%U...

Hi Denis,

"Version 7.0, Build 323.0" is what I get in the version info. I haven't restarted my device until now as I wasn't asked to do so by the installer. Also I wanted to give you the opportunity to analyze the issue without potential distortions of the system state.

Regards,
Helge

Hi Stefan,

I installed the new PDF Tools release successfully but I still get the import dialog.

Regards,
Helge

Hi Stefan,

thank you for the update!

Helge

Hi jstraat, thank you for your follow-up on this. I also experimented with delays but in the end I realized that each system would behave differently regarding speed so that it didn't solve my issues with sendkeys in a satisfactory way. Also a longer delay may motivate users to click somewhere else ...

Hi Stefan, I just modified my script using my own dialog and the file paths passed to PDF Tools are being processed correctly. You should know that my solution of running my own file dialog works only because in the corporate environment I'm using the PDF workflow in every client has MS Office insta...

Hi Stefan, the api of Windows - at least with VB and VBA - allows you to set a start path. I'm pretty sure this is also possible with the dialog control PDF Tools uses. But you're right, I can possibly also set up my own dialog control to pass the file filenames to PDF Tools. I will have a look at i...

Hi Stefan, all, I forgot to mention one more suggestion regarding the command line parameters. It would be really nice if one could pass a start path for the file dialog showing up when you have a "select files" dialog in your workflow (I don't use the English version so I don't know what ...

Thank you Vasyl. I'm looking forward to integrate the new version once it is available. I'm glad you're working on these automatization features. In a corporate environment they offer really interesting use cases. Hi, Helge. For sure, we already fixed that issue and tested it well for the new upcomi...

Hi Denis, again thank you for your kind offer. The problem with replication of the issue is that I couldn't replicate it on my own system. Additionaly on other systems running the PDF workflow vbscript the first time I saw an error message from PDF Tools that it couldn't find the custom workflow. In...

A short follow-up: The solution doesn't work reliably on all clients I tested and some online research about AppActivate and SendKeys confirms by other user's experiences that this solution can behave differently on different systems, influenced by multiple parameters (e.g. other applications interf...

Hi DenisO, thank you so much for your kind help! You're script works perfectly! I was able to fully automatize the word to pdf workflow + adding a digital signature to all converted documents. One should add WScript.Quit add the end of the final script to release the PDF Tools process which locks th...

Update: Tested Import on second device. UID remains the same. Great! So the dialog is the only thing keeping me from full automatization.

Hi Vasyl,

thank you, the command works but it asks for a confirmation which settings shall be imported. Can I somehow avoid this dialog?

The uid remained the same indeed when I deleted the tool and reimported it. I didn't test on a second device yet but this already looks promising.

Thanks,
Helge

Additional note: I also tried /ImportTools because the documentation talks also mentions an /ExportTools command.

Hi Patrick, thank you for your prompt response. I tried the ImportSettings on my build 322.5 but it doesn't work (simplified commandline setup using a pdtex file directly under c:\ without spaces in the file Name, I drag and dropped the file into the cmd window to make sure the filename is correct)....

Hi, in a many users environment I'd like to easily distribute action sequences to many users in the way that the users don't have to import the sequence first and create a shortcut to it. An approach for me would be to export the tool (I would only select the tool I need) and then set up a commandli...
