Hello
we are working right now on about 1500 files and the client ask us to place on each file
the filename without an extension on the lower left corner in 26pt in a specific type. I can
already loop through the files inside a folder and place the filename, but it also creates
a clipping path and the textframe is placed on the top left corner in 12pt.
any Idea what I do wrong here? Files are about 250 cm high - the lengths are different and
it should be saved as a CMYK PDF
Thanks
