    Inserting PDF Filename

      Hello there...

       

      I have a very hard job to do here in the office...Documentation in general...

       

      So my problem is this (and i think it's somewhat complicated, at least for me)

       

      I have to scan about a dozen of thousands of applications (style: form) and then i have to save and name them.

       

      THE PROBLEM:

      The name of PDF has to be a application field-number, with many characters.

      I want this number to be pdf's filename while i'm saving....

       

      Conclusion: Because of the outrageous number of papers that have to be scanned, i lookup for a solution that will help me from spending time on writing each PDF's filename

       

       

      Thank you very much for your time..

      I appreciate any help...

          Please tell us how it is you’re trying to save the PDFs. There are many tags and functions in CFML that you could be using. We really need more details to understand how best to propose a solution for you.

           

          Also, you have raised this in the context of a documentation comment. (That’s what this “documentation” forum is about. Not about documentation as a task or role in general.) If you don’t find you get a good answer here, you may want to raise this instead in the CF Getting Started forum, http://forums.adobe.com/community/coldfusion/coldfusion_getting_started?view=discussions.

           

          Hope that’s helpful.

            Hi Charlie

             

            Thank you for time!!

             

            I'm  saving with an HP application that accompanied the scanner machine.

            The application is a simple scanning software.

             

            When the paper exits the scanner, it pops up a Save As dialog.

            I want to reduce the time of writing down the filename, because of the amount of paperforms.

             

            So i realized that someone could have create a script which can name each scanning papaerform automatically.

            That name has to be taken from the scanned papeform (9 digit number, always) by OCR method.

             

            Any help would be helpful...thanks once again!

              Are you referring to processing that file somehow with the ColdFusion web application server software from Adobe? If not, then you have really found the wrong place to ask your question. This forum is only for working with that software.

               

              If I’m understanding you right, your problem is with your HP application, and you should be directing your question to an appropriate HP forum. Again, did you choose this forum because it had the name “documentation” in it? If so, and you are not using ColdFusion, you will not find your answer here, and in fact your forum thread may be deleted by the forum moderators.

               

              Do let us know if I am misunderstanding you. We absolutely want to help with ColdFusion documentation-related problems here.
