Hi -
just downloaded this today, and was ecstatic to have found just what I needed. Then I tried to use it, and found I either misunderstood the program's function, or I just don't know how to get it to do what I need. To wit:
I have a series of 9 pdf files: longname1.pdf, longname2.pdf, etc I need to merge them into one single pdf, which I would normally do with a command line utility "pdftoolkit" (pdftk.exe).
The command is "(c:\windows\system32\)pdftk(.exe) longname1.pdf longname2.pdf ... longname9.pdf cat output mergedfile.pdf".
I was hoping that DND would let me just drop the whole list of pdfs into the file window, and it would parse the list into batch variables (%1 %2 %3 %4), and then execute the concatenation command.
Can the program do that - run one command on a list (group) of files - and I am just not getting it?
Or is it only for running a single, repetitive command on each member of the file list.
Thanks
Doug
