    var name = this.documentFileName;

    this.getField(“fieldname“).value = name;

    Alternatively if it needs to be split into multiple outputs it might look something like:

    var name = this.documentFileName;

    var parts = name.replace(“.pdf”, “”).split(“_”);

    var projectNum = parts[0];

    var projectName = parts[1];

    this.getField(“ProjectNo”).value = projectNum;

    this.getField(“ProjName”).value = projectName;

    This of course is if you are using the same identifier to split the Number and name in the doc title, i.e. “_” in this case

    Hopefully this helps, let me know if you have anything else!

    Why not File Name?

    I know this takes setting up bookmarks ahead of time, which are hardly ever correct downstream, but you could simplify the bookmarks and have Bluebeam Split the Doc by Top level, with naming dependent on the Bookmark. Obviously this would probably take more individual files, but using callouts for this kind of info (Noticed it with RFI’s too) is definitely becoming a thing.

    I would maybe start with the original profile as a base and import the other items you need, export as the new. Depending on how many toolbars you have it could save you a bit.

    What kind of header and footer, something with just standard text, or graphics?

    I am trying to think of a way the normal automation scripts can handle this, but unfortunately the page referencing for the script arguments only allows a specific range (and if you don’t have that many sheets it will throw an error) or all pages. It also doesn’t have a “Clear Previous” Argument in the Script. The best solution maybe to have preset headers and footers, can save them now in the dialogue.

    Is there a reason you can’t flatten them and run Batch hyperlink? It should not flatten permanently, so you should be able to unflatten afterwards.

    I don’t have to make any consistent adjustments to get it working, but I don’t use it a whole bunch.

    Possible that running though the stapler and printing as a Revu PDF would fix this. This will permanently flatten markups though so just a quick export before trying.

    Man I thought of this one today and it is the bane of my existence when processing print revisions. STOP MOVING YOUR NOTES lol

    This is actually kind of funny in the not so funny kind of way, one of my guys ran into this issue yesterday and asked me about it today. He is running 21.0.5.0 since some users are experiencing a graphics glitch on form fields where they would jump to another part of the page (21.1). Tried running the prints through the stapler as Revu PDF to try and stabilize, but did not work. He restarted computer and so far has been running ok, but not holding my breath. My best guess on this is some kind of driver issue, or at least something on the video driver is out of sync with how Revu displays content.

    You don’t have graphics cards in these systems do you? I think both Nvidia and AMD have Alt+Z Shortcuts that interfere but can be disabled. Probably not it, but I wonder if its another program in general stepping on programmatic toes.

    I would agree here, plenty you can do with a CSV file, but without the getAnnots method, your scripts will never even see the markups.

    The script route would only work if they fixed the arguments for it so that it can reference specific pages. I think the defaults might be your only option, and it would be a two step manual process.

    I don’t know if it’s exactly what you need, but you can save defaults in the Header and Footer preferences. If I was making the workflow for myself, I might make one that I apply to Page 1, and another that I would apply to the rest of the pages. Again though, if it has graphics, template might be the only way.

    I think these are toolchests instead of toolbars
