Batch export to fdf

[aaronb39330999]

Hi

I'm using the below as an action to export annotations to an fdf file:

this.exportAsFDF({cPath:this.path.replace(/\.pdf$/i,".fdf"),bAnnotations:true})

It works on a single file, but if I run it on multiple files it only exports the annotations for the first page.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Aaron

That's very odd. This command will export the values of annotations in the file. It's actually not possible to limit it to just one page...

I know.

I'm running it as an action on Acrobat Pro DC. No annotations beyond the first page are exported if I run it on multiple files.

Would be helpful if someone could confirm the same for them?

Thanks

Aaron

Strange. What happens if you run the code manually, from the JS Console?

Try this:

add this.syncAnnotScan()

Bernd: That's the issue. Acrobat won't even load the annotations unless you force it to by using syncAnnotScan() first. I've run into this before with Actions.
