Commands

Batch commands provide a means to execute specific functions without the need for coding. These commands can be configured using JSON.

A small example:

{
  "Title": "Flatten Form XObjects and autotag PDF",
  "name": "my_example_command",
  "commands": [
    {
      "title": "Flatten form XObjects",
      "name": "flatten_xobject"
    },
    {
      "title": "Clear document structure",
      "name": "clear_structure"
    },
    {
      "title": "Autotag PDF",
      "name": "add_tags"
    }
  ]
}
