I have done this before utilizing the SDK. This will take a lot of reading and writing from the disk of the machine that you will be running this on. You would have to first do a search for all the documents, export the document as a PDF to a temp location, and then finally attach the PDF to the original document. This will prevent creating a new entry ID for the document and you will have both the LF pages as well as the PDF. Alternatively you can delete the pages from the documents using the SDK as well once you have confirmed the integrity of a pool of documents.

Hi Cristobal,

 

Thank you for  your help.

I have 1 difficulty. The files are not in the same folder (and I have a lot of folders too). I don't want to export/import for each folder.

 

Your SDK looks better for me. Do you have the code?

Unfortunately I no longer have the code due to implementing it a few years ago. From what I recall it was very short and was done through Workflow using an SDK script. As for narrowing down specific folders you can do this by creating the appropriate search syntax.
