Apply an action to all pages.
Is there a way to apply an action more times in a document? A sort of loop to spare the work to click the action for each page in the document. I inserted the command to jump to next page, but can't find how to recall the action.

Re: Apply an action to all pages.
Hi,
You can assign a keyboard shortcut to an action, perhaps you can make a new action incorporating the action you want + 'next page'?
Then assign a keyboard shortcut to this new combined action and repeat this keyboard shortcut until you've reached the end of the document?

Re: Apply an action to all pages.
Assign a shortcut would be a nice help. But how can this be done?

Re: Apply an action to all pages.
Go to Preferences -> Usage -> Keyboard Shortcuts
There's an entry "Actions" in the middle pane where you should find your action. (And remenber to press the "Assign" button, after picking a keyboard shortcut – I tend to forget the last step).
Cheers

Re: Apply an action to all pages.
Thanks, Shortcuts for Actions could be a great help. But now I have another trouble. All the job is to resize scanned PDF, that my Epson multifunction resizes (I guess to allow printing without cutting the border). PDF layout resolution is 300dpi in any case, but if I use scanner with 300dpi, the raster layer will have 309dpi (about 97%), if I use 200dpi, the raster layer will have 206dpi, if I use 600dpi, the raster layer will have 618dpi. Mostly this is not a problem, but sometime it is. So I need an action to resize layer inside PDF. I used adjust layer scale with formula, in the resolution field I put:
If (d≥600; 600; If (d≥300; 300; If (d≥200; 200; d)))
But Action doesn't work as aspected.
If (d≥600; 600; If (d≥300; 300; If (d≥200; 200; d)))
But Action doesn't work as aspected.

Re: Apply an action to all pages.
'if' has to be lower case. Also, PL doesn't accept "≤" or "≥" (I can't get <= or >= to work, either, although they are documented, but as a workaround, you can negate the conditional and exchange the other arguments).
Cheers
Burkhard.

Re: Apply an action to all pages.
OK, I simplified the formula in this way:
if (d>450; 600; if (d>250; 300; 200))
And the Action seems to work just fine. Thanks.
if (d>450; 600; if (d>250; 300; 200))
And the Action seems to work just fine. Thanks.

Re: Apply an action to all pages.
My advice would be to use a specialized printing program such as QImage for printing. No second guessing and consistent printing results every time. Not all programs play nice with printers. It's often a case of who's in control.
