I create invoices to multiple companies using an Access DB and print each invoice individually to a pdf. Or I print the whole report, and extract pages it names them Inv 1, Inv 2 etc. Is there a way i can rename those files automatically using text from within the pdf i.e. company name from the invoice address.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Yes, you can create a JavaScript automation script for this. However it's not something that can be easily explained, and how it's done depends on the details of your workflow.

Thanks for your response, did not think it would be easy.

Hoping for a bit of code to help me on my way.

We have an Access programmer that may be able to help.
