recreated extracted PDF File?
« on: July 16, 2021, 12:43:51 PM »
I am working with a file that was loaded using PPD's, trying to figure out some slowness.

Once the file is loaded, is there any way to extract the file as a whole, as it was loaded originally into CMOD? i am having issues getting it from the folks that send the files.

Basically, is it possible to some how recreate the file using the .out and the .res file?

Thanks in advance

As far as I know, not without the datamatics PDF tools that CMOD uses to manipulate PDFs, and even then, you'd have to write alot of Java to do it.

Also, I believe that the PPD info that was originally there is not kept when the data is loaded into OnDemand. So the exported files will be without the PPD data - as far as I recall.
(Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone)

I think Lars is correct.  When you extract PDFs, you get just a stack of PDFs, and a generic index file if requested.
