Convert Multiple Dwg Files To Pdf

[Caterina Haggins]

HelloI am trying to convert multiple files with different extensions using the 'ConvertFile' automation, so that it can be display on the layout. However, when there are different types of files in one incident, it keeps giving me an error. What would be the best way to list all files and convert them by EntryID? Here what I currently have configure with the fields and transformations.

What error are you getting? ConvertFile can handle multiple files of different types with no issues (just tested on my instance), so if there's an issue with what you've got it seems likely it's in the Filter/Transformer section.

I was able to get this error: "Failed converting file. General exception: failed to get artifact file path, invalid file (52)" by manually deleting the referenced files from /var/lib/demisto/artifacts - can you check that directory to make sure the expected files are still there?

Click Tools button from the upper right>Click Action Wizard>Click Create New Action...>Click Save & Export from the left panen>Click Save>Click the button that it's located between the left and right pane>Click Specify Settings from the right panel.

Now, I checked the box called PDF Optimizer>Click Settings and then, on Images category, for Color Images and Greyscale Images I choosed Maximum Quality, which increase the file size, but it's OK for me.

When you want to convert, for example a bunch of .docx files to pdf, open Adobe Acrobat Professional, click Tools from the upper right, click Action Wizard, under Actions, click "Convert all to pdf at maximum quality", choose Add files or Add folder from the drop down menu located immediately under "Files to be processed:", browse and select the folder that contain .docx or other files formats, click OK, click Start.

2. A window will open prompting you to add files. Click Add Files > Add Files... OR Add Folders... If adding a folder, navigate to it, and click OK to add it to the list. You can also select a bunch of files and drag & drop them into the Add Files window.

3. Once you have all the files listed that you want to convert, click OK. A new window called Output Options will open. In this window, select your preferred settings. For me, I want all the new PDFs to have the same filename and be in the same folder as the Word docs, so I choose these settings:

4. Click OK, and then the batch process will begin running. You will see Word opening and closing. However, you won't have to click Save or anything. You can run it unattended. The process takes a little while, so I usually set up a batch to run, then go to lunch. Once finished, you should have all your new PDFs:

I have the same problem and have tried to batch convert multiple word documents to pdfs, unsuccessfully. I have around 300+ word documents which need to be converted to pdf's and cannot imagine opening each one and saving as pdf.

I used the Action Wizard to create an action to do so, it gives an error "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF. Whenever I try to select multiple word files into pdf's by selecting those manually, it throws the same error.

Can someone post assistance for the PDFMaker error or anything else that can resolve this? I have tried all the solutions and instructions posted in the various screenshots on this page but to no avail.

Open a powershell window (windows search bar - search 'windows powershell') and paste the following (update the path to the folder containing the files before pasting as pasting usually just executes the code immediately).

So, say I have a folder with 20+ files that vary from .csv to .xlsm to .xlsx, etc (all Excel readable). Is there a way to create a workflow where I can tell Alteryx to look in this entire folder and convert all files to a specific file type, such as .xlsx? Rather than trying to create 20+ individual inputs? That's really all I need the workflow to do at this point - look in this folder, convert all files to .xlsx. I'm having trouble with the "look in this folder" and grab everything part ha.

Hi Sajast - I just noticed you put this post in the connect part of the discussions. I would repost any further questions in the "Designer Desktop" section as thats the product your questions will pertain to.

I did some research on how to handle scenarious like yours, and found this topic here in the community The Ultimate Input Data Flowchart which is based on the directory tool, batch macro and Input Data Tool

Now that we understand how to create a batch macro to Input CSV files with pipe separated fields, and based on the limitation listed above, we know that each file type requires its own Input batch macro, e.g. one for XLSX, other for XLS, another one for CSV files with commad separated fields, etc. We created another batch macro managing that scenario.

This macro receives the full file name to process (load), get the file type, base file name, and file name from the Control Parameter; with the file type is trigger the execution of the appropiated macro, e.g. Iinput CVS pipe, Input XLSX, Input XLS and so on.

We introduced a new limitation with this macro, if the file type for comma separated files is in lower case (csv) the file is pipe separated, and if it is all capital letter (CSV) the file contains comma separated fields.

Okies, so I was basically trying to create an eBook, and now I have 26 Affinity Designer files (of pages) that I would like to convert to a .PDF. Is there any easier way to do this other than to painstakingly convert all of the files separately to a .PDF and merge them in Acrobat?

On the roadmap for Affinity Designer is the option to add pages, so when this has been introduced, you would be able to make the whole book in one 26 page document and then Export this as a PDF in one go.

Anyone know of a way to convert all of my video files into a standard format but retain the bitrate and resolution? I love the built-in Emby conversion process but it's going to take forever and I don't want it consuming resources of my Emby server - I'd like to do it from another PC. The problem I'm running in to is I don't want them to end up with the same resolution and bitrate. If it's 1080p now, I'd like to keep it that way. If it's 4k now, I'd like to retain that. Same for a file that's either 60Mbps or 25Mbps, I don't want them all 60Mbps or 25Mbps. I just want to change the format (or container/codec, is that the right term?) so that's it plays better on a Roku, Firestick or Android TV.

Why? What you want to do makes absolutely no sense. It would be far easier to either replace your Roku devices, or upgrade your server so that you can properly transcode items on the fly. All you would be doing is making your files worse. The only files you could possibly be having issues with are anything that are in mp4 containers, which do not support streaming, and all you would need to do is pack them into an mkv container.

MP4 is fine for "web streaming", but Emby doesn't employ "web streaming" unless you're using a brower (AFAIK). It is also far inferior to mkv. From what I understand most devices attempt to play the content as if it was local as they direct play the content, instead of "streaming". You can see it in action when you attempt to watch a dolbyvision mp4 vs a dolbyvision mkv. I have devices that support both and the DV mp4 files constantly have issues when viewed over Emby (work fine if watched local), vs the DV mkv files playing fine. If your device doesn't support mkv playback, like crApple devices, then Emby does the work to repack it as a compatible container so it can be read as a "local file" and that is why they take time to load, unless you use third party software like Infuse.

@arrbee99if you're doing this to have subs that work, it's easier to just replace the devices. Just replace your Roku devies with Firesticks. You're taking the extremely painful way to solve your problem.

I want to edit mp4's or mkv's but when I try I loose the subtitles. I did have a way round but that seems to bugger up the duration of the file. Now I think I can use a separate subtitle track and add it in to the edited file, but was hoping for an easier way.

When you edit the video files, the subtitles will no longer match up with them and would need to fix them in programs like subtitle edit. Most editing programs totally ignore subtitles. If you want to mess with files you need to demux them and have only audio and video present, then address any changes you made to the timeline with the subs before muxing them back together.

Thank you! I've seen ffmpeg running all the time but didn't know what it was actually doing or know you could use it to convert video files. This was exactly what I was looking for and that article was extremely helpful.

When I say "plays better" I mean that 4k video's that need to be transcoded take a few extra seconds to start and seem to take extra time if you're jumping ahead or back. Sometimes they take a minute or two if you're resuming a movie halfway through. So if I can get them into a format that plays directly and not have my wife and kids complain when they have to wait 10 seconds, then everyone's happy.

There is no way to stop the buffering when a 4k video needs to be transcoded other than replacing said devices that are causing the transcoding to happen in the first place. If your family are so impatient that they can't wait 10 freaking seconds, then either replace those devices with Android ones, or create accounts for them and BLOCK them from playing the 4k content. Ideally, everyone should be using Android devices as they have the absolutely least problems out of every single device that Emby supports. My i3-1115G4 laptop server has no wait time when direct playing any 4k content, while also transcoding multiple 1080p vidoes for people on crApple devices.
