Description:
This step removes all blank pages from a PDF document.
Inputs
- inputFilePath – input file path on the application server
- outputFilePath - output file path on the application server
- pdfVirtualPath - PDF virtual path on the application server
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “RemoveBlankPagesDef” example.
- Create a new process definition named “RemoveBlankPagesDef” and open it in Designer mode.
- Drag a “RemoveBlankPage” step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” step and “RemoveBlankPage” steps, as shown above.
- Define a variable or a global to store the result.
- Click the "RemoveBlankPage" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide the input file path. Provide a variable or global reference to store the output file path and the PDF virtual file path. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have the Copilot add new process steps that match your process description.
- The “Logging” configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures workflow progress and percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step to view its properties. The “RemoveBlankPage” step should remove all blank pages and store the file path information in the variable or global, as configured.
Definition Sample:
You may download the sample definition(s) from the link provided and later import them (drag-and-drop) into your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.
Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after the import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
