Question

Filename Stamper

I'm trying to use an action by Rick Borstein called "Filename Stamper" (File_Name_Stamper.sequ) which is totally awesome (thanks Rick!), but requires that I click OK every time for each document when I have selected multiple files with the file open dialog box. This got a little tedious after the first few hundred - is there a way around this?@

Hello Zimbop,  I'm the original author of that Action. I wrote it for Rick.  And you are not the first person to ask for the dialog to only come up once. And I created that variation. So if your interested, send me an email.  thomp@windjack.com

What is the dialog box asking you to confirm, exactly?

Here it is: https://acrobatusers.com/actions-exchange/file-name-stamper-for-acrobat-xi

The javascript window pops up and you click "Apply" for each one of the 'N' documents you selected, which is a total bummer if N=1000!

I should add I've tried using various keys such as control, option etc. as sometimes in MacOS these lead to OK being changed to "OK to all" etc. Wondering if Acrobat has any similar tricks.
