Wow, nice plugin! One little problem: You don't seem to close the PDF file after searching for text in it, so it cannot be deleted until TC is closed and re-opened.
You need to close the file either when there is no more data (when returning ft_fieldempty), or when there is a match. From the help: If there is a match, TC signals the plugin that it can delete the cached data by calling ContentGetValue with UnitIndex set to -1!

Hello,
your plugin looks really good, but how can I display pdf title? It would be great to have the possibility to rename pdf file using it's title (and other fields also). I have many downloaded files named for example igfffe908fe.pdf and I would love to be able to automatically change their names. If that's not yet possible, even display the title would be good, I would than just copy the name and rename the file. Much faster than opening Acrobat, coping title, closing Acrobat and renameing the file...
Regards,
Marcin

Thanks! I must be blind . It works, but there is a problem. When I look for a title, I expect the title I see when I open the document. But when I tested your plugin on the pdf's I have on my disk it shows rather something like "F:FSBD4-3FS009" instead of a proper title. It is the case both for pdf files version 1.2 and 1.4. I checked wih many other files and it most of the time shows the wrong title (well, not the one I see on the top of the document I open . Maybe it's because of authors, who do not pay attention and set Title fileld randomly... Do you know the issue?Lefteous wrote:2yeellow
That should be possible. Select the files to rename. Open the multi rename tool. For the rename mask click the plugin button and choose xpdfsearch/title.

Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing. The title is what the author of the PDF file saved as title. To ensure the plugin displays the proper information open the document properties in your Acrobat Reader (Ctrl+D) in watchout for the title. Let me know if it differs from the title displayed by the plugin.
The title in PDF is a metadata information and not part of the document text. But why not introduce a new field "first line"

Confirmed. A cm_UnloadPlugins helps too (faster than closing/re-opening of TC).One little problem: You don't seem to close the PDF file after searching for text in it, so it cannot be deleted until TC is closed and re-opened.

Yes, you are right. It's author's fault.... The field "first line" would be good, but in many cases it would be author's name or publisher's name, or so... The problem is, that we can see the title with no troubles, but for a computer it's much more tricky . I don't know much about pdf format, so I don't know if it's possible to define some parametres that all titles have in common. Like bigger font size, aligment center, etc... Human lazyness it's always the biggest problem, if only the proper fields were filled.... .Lefteous wrote:2yeellow

It would be still much faster than searching the whole document.
OK what about a "first page" field instead.Yes, you are right. It's author's fault.... The field "first line" would be good, but in many cases it would be author's name or publisher's name, or so...
