Hi there

I would like to delete at once the url (those in the info panel of a pdf document) rather than one by one is it possible for several pdf documents?

thanks

Set up the following smart rule (warning: read to the end of this post, otherwise you could inadvertently remove the URL from files you did not want it removed from):

The embedded script is

on performSmartRule(theRecords)
	tell application id "DNtp"
		repeat with theRecord in theRecords
			set URL of theRecord to ""
		end repeat
	end tell
end performSmartRule

Mark the documents you want the URL removed from, choose Apply Rules from the context menu, and select Remove URL (or whatever you chose to call the rule).

You may want to limit the scope of the search to certain document types or certain locations; you may also want to delete the rule once you have used it - as it stands, if you selected to run the rule from the sidebar, it would delete the URL from every document within the scope of its search (so from the database “test” in my case).

The next release will add a Change URL action to batch processing and smart rules to simplify this.
