ARTS PDF Split Pro™ Guide
Graphical User Interface
6.3.2. Silent Mode
The option to run ARTS PDF Split Pro™ in silent mode can be found in the Options dialog.
This will run ARTS PDF Split Pro™ with no visual output or required user interaction. It is
recommended that the ‘Logging enabled’ checkbox is selected if silent mode is checked.
Logging enabled will notify you of any errors or status messages by writing entries to a
log file. If running in silent mode and you wish to stop processing a file, you must exit
the application.
6.3.3. Overwrite output file
The option to overwrite existing files can be found in the Options dialog. By default,
ARTS PDF Split Pro will avoid overwriting an existing file by appending a number to the
new filename. Select this option to overwrite existing output files instead of appending a
number
3
.
For example:
• First split produces the following output files:
tax.pdf, invoice.pdf, order.pdf
• Second split does NOT have ‘Overwrite output file’ selected. Output files are:
tax_1.pdf, invoice_1.pdf, order_1.pdf
• Third split does have ‘Overwrite output file’ selected. Output files of the third split
will overwrite the output files of the first split:
tax.pdf, invoice.pdf, order.pdf
Watched folders will ignore the ‘Overwrite output file’ option found in the Options dialog.
To set the overwrite mode for watched folders, select ‘Overwrite the original file’ in the
Watched Folder dialog.
6.3.4. Update navigational elements
The option to update navigational elements
4
can be found in the Options dialog and in
the Watched Folder dialog. Select this option to update all links, bookmarks and named
destinations so that they remain connected to the proper page. To set ‘Update
navigational elements’ for watched folders, select the checkbox in the Watched Folder
dialog.
3
The ‘Overwrite output file’ option will not affect control file split methods (‘By Control File’ and ‘By Control
File – full path). Any output files using a control file will always be overwritten because the filename is
specified within the control file.
4
Form fields and annotations other than links, such as comments, are not updated and are removed from all
output files.
