Pass a variable to Acrobat Pro

Post by Ziggi »

Hi,

This is damn very stupid! I try to convert an image to PDF with PitStop Server but it seems only PDF2Image is available.

So I try to convert an image to PDF with Adobe Acrobat itself using it's scripting feature. Well, importIcon works fine but I need to pass an absolute path to an image from Switch. Within Switch an image is a job. Any idea?

Thanks ahead.

(BTW - it;s damn simple with Callas PDFToolbox, but this is not the option this time.

The easiest and quickest way to convert an image to PDF is to use Imagemagick in "Execute command". It is quick and it can run concurrently something that is not possible with Acrobat.
