Trying to reduce multiple pdf size in one location. Tried PDF pro but had to pick location and click ok for every file (260 qty). Is there a way in FME that can batch reduce size for the pdf.

Thanks

Sorry, but FME does not have a PDF Reader (yet).

But FME has a reader for "Directory and File Path".

This returns the file name and path.

Combined with the SystemCaller transformer, you might be able to call PDF pro using a command line and the file name from the reader.

That way looping through the files without manual interaction.

Hi,

Size reduction in what sense, either by reduce the pages per file or page size or any other???

no pdf writer???

I guess u mean no pdf reader.

If pdf pro has command line options, you could use a batch file to do it. (havn't find any on the net though)

Hi @majidachaoudhry,

 

 

It is perhaps off topic but we use CorelDraw at the office to reduce pdf size files in batch. Meaning that we can reduce those huge i.e: 12Mb files down to 500kb, depending on the requirements.

 

Just to sharing.

 

 

Cheers.

 

Lyes
