Eh, I'm too stupid to figure out how to let me enter/identify the name(s).
#2
Luckily they're already complete lines of text.

Oh yeah, look at that! Lemme try real quick.

Quote from: Joe on April 22, 2024, 11:26:05 AMFrom not so good memory try looking for an action called "Select text by key phrase".
Huh, No matches in my Actions. Ver23 Update 1.

Ah, good to know. It's all over now except the crying (they're sorting products & matching to the Invoices I printed now) so we'll see at the end if I missed any...

Quote from: abc on April 06, 2024, 10:00:36 AMYou can actually do this in PitStop if you have it?
Not sure if you track posts here, did you have any suggestions for this? Thanks!

Yeah, far as I know there's NO embedded info in the PDF that would make this happen. Not even a JYLT contains the backup direction, I don't believe.
#7
Have you sent any of the the files to HP to investigate? In my experience, they're more than thorough & willing to try and find reasons for these weird kinds of instances.

If you like, you could send me imposed PDFs out of each of your workstations, I'll put 'em onto our DFE (15k model so the B2 size is supported) and see what we get too.

Sorry, its for sales/quotation. No way to make a PDF work!



:)) Ahhhhh, the value of "free" strikes again!
#9
Sure do! I thought that was an option, just not sure which way to attack it.

Thx for checking in on us slowly peons too!
#10
It's a one-off. For now.
And I have a few weeks to prepare this anyway, so I can waste as much time as I like!
#11
Yah, it's a compiled PDF from the Storefront. I'll ask their support if there's a way to sort them by User before exporting maybe.

Adobe Acrobat / Find Exact Text Matches in 600pg Doc
April 05, 2024, 10:51:53 AM
I've generated a 600+ Page doc (from an online ordering system) that contains orders, some times placed days apart, from specific people. I need to find say, Bob Smith's name, if it appears on Pg3 & pg 300 & Pg 552 so I can arrange them together.

The idea is, all of these orders are printed out & given to a Fulfillment Team to Pick/Pack/Ship so I need "like" names to all be grouped together.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!

We're on PrintIQ here, it's all web-based and SUPER extensive. Like, plan for months & months of your life to be committed to setup & configuration. Does pretty well most days though.

Jump Desktop, super cheap, install on as many Macs/Windows machines as you like.

Like Joe said, VPN access may be necessary - I had our IT vendor do mine so I run SonicWall Mobile any time I need to connect.

The Rest... / Re: Affinity Publisher 1.9

Quote from: Rodi on March 27, 2024, 05:42:58 PMThat is terrible news!

Well, at least I can still work it out on Windows 11.

For all the things it has done right, this isn't one of them!

Canva is a no win situation from my perch.

I don't think they're merging the 2, maybe Canva wanted an entry into the desktop arena & this is the easiest  way to do that? Time will tell.
