Batch & Print Pro 

Setting up a Separator Template

 


Separator Template is a new feature introduced in version 1.16
This is a powerful addition to Batch & Print Pro, it allows you to create page headers as separators generated on the fly, you can also have a static page as normal.

The format type of the template could be anything, we recommend rtf, txt & html. 
Binary document formats are not recommended as the information is replaced by the program on the fly.

NOTE: the separator is before every document printed.
An example template is installed in the Batch & Print Pro installation directory called: sep_template.rtf

The separator format:-
The next file printing must be in this specific format to pull in the information from the filename.
AAAA.BBBB.CCCC.DDDD.doc   
or
AAAA_BBBB_CCCC_DDDD.doc   

the filename is separated into sections using the dot '.' or underscore '_', you can have as many sections as you want in the filename, the Separator page file is also required please use a dummy file that doesn't exist.

In the template file the following keywords are replaced:- 
[FILENAME1] = section1 (i.e. AAAA), [FILENAME2] = section2 (i.e. BBBB) etc etc 
        
[FULLFILENAME] = the full next filename to print (i.e. D:\MYDOCS\
AAAA.BBBB.CCCC.DDDD.doc)

[FILETITLE] = the filetitle of the full path filename. (i.e. it doesn't include the directory structure)

        [MM/DD/YY] = the printed date.

        [HH:MM:SS] = the printed time.

 

        The sep_template.rtf example is below:-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE DELIVER TO:

[FILENAME4]

 

[FILENAME2]

[FILENAME1]

 

 

Source File:             [FILETITLE]

Printed:            [MM/DD/YY] [HH:MM:SS]

 

PLEASE DELIVER TO:

[FILENAME4]
