Re: PDF Manipulation was Design Question

*IF* the pdf files are simple enough, there are some substitutions that you can “just make”. A string literal can be replaced with a string of the same length. It could also be replaced with a shorter string and space-padded for the extra space. You want to put a string that is three character

Bob S: Thanks for replying to my post. It seems the situation is as I thought although making a GUI with Livecode to activate an external library is easier than using other tools to make a GUI for an external library. When I started this conversation I assumed I would something like that. N
