The only other thing I used to use from there I found in another Alfred Workflow but could be useful in your workflow which is Word to PDF, ilovepdf.com also has an Excel to PDF that is pretty cool too. JPG to PDF as well. All tools I have used/needed at some time or another.

If you talk about Word to PDF Converter it's a workflow of mine. I have no plans to add this feature to APT.

Yes, I have already tested both ways before posting lol. Works perfect.

Is there any other feature from ilovepdf.com you would like to see in Alfred PDF Tools?

OMG! Love it!!!!!! TY so much <3

Please, note you need to use the ⌘ modifier key if you want the pages in a single slice/file.

Update (v2.3):

Improved slice feature.

What I was hoping APT could do was take an arguement like "slice 1,2,4-5,6,8-10,13" and have it spit out the 6 files into the source directory with some default naming scheme that includes the pg numbers for reference. Potenitally with an aruguement like "slice 1,2,4-5; [single:multi]" where multi slices into 3 files and single slices out the input pages and then combines those 3 files back into a single pdf.

It sounds interesting. I will look into this in the coming weeks.

Hey ya'll,

 

This may be a silly ask but I'm new to Alfred so I figured I'd start here!

 

Can anyone tell me how to calculate a new date ie 16 days from today's date?

 

I tried using a snippet that looked similar to this: 

{date}+16

and it doesn't seem to work out.

 

Any tips?

 

Thanks!

Date Calculator is an excellent workflow which can do this and much more.

The workflow doesn't work if the new filename has a /.

Never mind. I just realized I can get the / using a : instead.

Any idea why ?

It's a keyword with no arguments. You just have to hit enter with no spaces and the compose window will open.

Can you explain the step part of the input when slicing? Can I split a 10-page pdf into 3 ranges like 1-2 3-4 5-8 and get 3 files with a single input argument?

If you enter 1,20,1 for start, stop, step you will have all pages from 1 to 20 of the source file.

If you enter 1,20,2 you will include the start page and every page after a step of two pages so you will have in the output file the following pages of the source file: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19.

If you enter 1,20,4 you have a step of four pages so the output file will have the following pages of the source file: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17. Note that the difference between the pages is equal to the step value (eg. 5 - 1 = 4; 9 - 5 = 4 and so on).

No. According the workflow logic a split should involve all pages of the source file. You are mentioning a multiple slice invoked by a single input argument. This is not supported by Alfred PDF Tools and I am not certain it would be a useful feature. Personally, when I need to do this I prefer to use Finder for dragging the pages in order to create multiple documents.

Feel free to add it to your much more comprehensive workflow!

Thank you! I will surely take a look on it on the next days.

Thank you, I am new to Alfred and was not properly selecting the files to invoke Alfred and your workflow. Thanks so much this is just what I needed.

No problem. Feel free to ask any question or request a feature.

Could make the flow to accept multiple files? Thanks you 

I have concerns regarding the stability. In larger files the workflow needs more time to complete the encryption process so a batch encryption could not be as stable. In any case I will consider your request and make some tests to check if this can be implemented in a reliable way.

I have set my keywords and see the action in Alfred but it does nothing to the pdf files I select in the finder before invoking Alfred. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

You should not set any keyword or do any other change to make the workflow work. Revert back your changes or reinstall the workflow. Alfred PDF Tools is fully operated by file actions, so you just have to select one or more PDF files with Alfred, depending on the chosen action, and enter the user input once requested. The keyword elements are intended to get user input, not to trigger the action.

Update (v2.1):

Added ability to encrypt PDF files.

No, afraid not.

 

If I were you, I'd either change the workflow logic to fit the data or I'd use the xlrd library the workflow is based on to export the data to a format that better fits the logic.

 

Unfortunately it's not possible to change the logic to fit all the data unless I join the judge name and the phone number on a subtitle column so that I would have two script filters concatenated instead of three.

My original plan was:

Script Filter 1

– Title: city

– Subtitle: none

Script Filter 2

– Title: court

– Subtitle: none

Script Filter 3

– Title: judge name

– Subtitle: court phone

It would be great if ISYN had an optional argument in its command-line to set a row number to be single filtered by the workflow. It would make data creation much simpler on user side in many cases. Please, if possible consider this a feature request.

EDIT: I just realized that I can use an action modifier in order to have only two scripts filters. It seems a good solution. Let me try.

I got my workflow to work with chained Script Filters. Thank you!

So I have one more question: is there any way to make ISYN filter the content of an individual row?

It's important for the logic of my workflow. I don't want to create a sheet for every single court with the judge name and phone number. It would be massive work.

Use the output from your first filter (city) to dynamically set the filename of the file containing the list of courts in that city, and plug that into the second filter (court).

And it's not possible to have all data in a single Excel workbook even if I have to use more than one filter?

If you don't know how to do that, you should ask in the Workflow Help & Questions forum, not in this thread: as you say, it's not a question about this workflow.

Could you move my post to a new thread? I am a bit lost because I want to use this template to create a workflow, so I don't know if my questions are totally unrelated to this thread.

Thank you for this template, @deanishe! I can't believe that I took so long to discover this.

Let me do a question. I want to make a workflow as following:

1) the user selects a city;

2) the user selects a court from that city;

3) information (title and subtitle) of the selected court is displayed (basically the judge name and the court telephone).

How can I get Alfred to continue filtering after the user hits enter on the selected city?

Maybe this is more a question about script filters in general than this template itself but until the moment I didn't need to create a workflow that works in this way.

Thank you! Very handy. When I built Alfred PDF Tools using PyPDF2 I didn't figure out that this feature was possible.

Updated the original post to fix the preview image and direct download link.

 

 

Both the direct download and Packal versions are the same (v 1.4.1). You can download any one of them and reinstall/update the workflow.

You missed another typo in rladd: eneter instead of enter.
 

Thanks a lot, @deanishe!
