Hello.
There is no concrete reason I should be posting this off topic question to this list but you all just seem like the sort of people who would know how to go about a particular task I need help with. Previous off topic posts showed good knowledge of programming ideas from non-me list members. I want to automate the process of marking lines on a PDF file. Right now a PDF is sent to my work from an airline, someone prints it out, then using some rubber stamps to mark certain flight numbers. The gflight number always gets marked the same way. So flight 3452 might get marked with "LV" and flight 252 might get marked with "LVT" for example. Then we scan the stamped print out and email the image to someone. When you are doing it it feels even more stupid than it sounds. My goal is to automate this. Load the PDF into a programme or run a script on it, have the script replace the flight numbers with the number and what should be on the stamp. For example it would find flight "252" and replace it with "LVT 252". It would do this for every flight, then save a new PDF (or overwrite the original, does not matter). Would like to receive the PDF from the airline, run the programme/script and then send a new PDF back to them. I labelled this off topic because I am thinking someone will suggest a python library or somesuch (command line script is OK) but if by some miracle LiveCode can do it, great, I will do it that way and it will become on-topic. Thanks for any guidance. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
