Nee option to save all the opened files, but not to close it.

This is to ensure that all the changes are saved for the opened pdf files..
but i dont want to close them.

Hello hafeesh,

This can currently be done by executing the JavaScript in the Console (https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowle ... nge-Editor):

Code: Select all

var activeDocs = app.activeDocs;
for (var i = 0; i < activeDocs.length; i++)
{
	var doc = activeDocs[i];
	app.execMenuItem("Save", doc);
}

Alternatively, you can create the button to do this:

Code: Select all

function saveAllOpenDocs()
{
	var activeDocs = app.activeDocs;
	for (var i = 0; i < activeDocs.length; i++)
	{
		var doc = activeDocs[i];
		app.execMenuItem("Save", doc);
	}
}

app.addMenuItem({ cName: "Save All Open Documents", cParent: "File",
      cExec: "saveAllOpenDocs()",
      nPos: 3
   });

This code will add the button to the File menu:

Here, you can see how to make that JS execute every time you launch the Editor:

app.addMenuItem({ cName: "Save All Open Documents", cParent: "File", cExec: "saveAllOpenDocs()", nPos: 3 });

Thanks for that very much !!!

Hello Ovg,

I didn't write the state update part (disabled/enabled) though it will just do nothing if you have no documents to save - so it should suffice like that

Cheers,

Alternatively, you can create the button to do this: (...)

I ran this code in the console, the "Save All Open Documents" button appeared, but clicking it does not save all open, modified and unsaved documents - they still display the "changed" icon on the tabs.

For now, I use the command from the quick search:

added it as a button to the "Quick Access" panel.

Maybe it makes sense, after all, to add this button as standard, "out of the box"?

Upd. How do I remove this button now?

Hello Jensen Head,

Just tested this custom menu command - and it worked perfectly fine for me.
Please note that this will work for files that have already been created. If you have "New Document" ones - that have not yet been saved to disk - the "Save All" command will take you to the "Save As" option instead.

Kind regards,
Stefan
