How to create multiple merge PDF by each folder containing the PDF - applescript

I need help to solve this, I was trying to create an automate process to merge PDF with the automator, I have the code to merge the PDF and save the new PDF with the folder of the files merged, but if I do this manually will take a lot of times so I want to improve it and only to choose the folders that I need to merge and create the PDF individually by each folder.
I tried with the automator process watch me do, but it gives me the error OSStatus -50 for some reason.
I hope someone can help me to avoid do this folder by folder

Send to Compressed Folder not working properly

I am having a particular issue with Send to Compressed Folder.
What i do is:
Select folder - right click - send to...
Usually it created a zipped file at the bottom of the current with the same name as the folder i wanted to zip. Lately, however, the position of the zipped folder is not the last one in the folder and it automatically makes me rename it.
I know it's a minor issue, but since i deal with lots of zipped folder at work it would be nice to go back as it was.
Thanks in advance!

How to undo uploading files in code collab code review?

I started a code review from the command line using
ccollab adddiffs new D:\Development\review\before D:\Development\review\after
I made changes to the code and then went to upload those changes to the review using:
ccollab adddiffs ask D:\Development\WRONGpath\before D:\Development\WRONGpath\after
code collab errored out saying there were no files to upload. Okay, fine. I fixed the path and redid the command with the correct path
ccollab adddiffs ask D:\Development\review\before D:\Development\review\after
I properly edited the list of files in the text file leaving all the original file names in there except files I did not want added to the review, but Code collab proceeded to add the files as new rather than as diffs to the original files. I'm wondering how I can undo the last upload to the review?
It's only possible to delete files if there aren't any comments or defects on them. If the files you want to remove is part of a changelist (which it probably is in this case) then your only option is to remove the whole changelist.
In the Review Materials section you'll see a Delete button next to each changelist. You may need to change the View As option to Separate in order to delete the changelist.

Take multiple .zip files and extract them to external location

This is something that I thought would be extremely simple to do. A math teacher handles her notes through Dropbox and gets .zip files emailed to her containing updates (by updates- they're the full folders so she can delete the old and extract the new ones in their places). She asked if it was possible to extract the zip files, then copy them to the dropbox. Coming from a Linux/Mac point of view I thought it would be easy- unzip command with -d... Little did I know Windows doesn't support unzip. I've tried googling ways to do this, and found that windows doesn't seem to have a default 'unzip' command of any kind? And when trying to copy the files, wildcards don't work either??? She gets 7+ .zip files at a time, all are named "Unit (number).zip" So I was using Unit*.zip. Any help/ideas would be appreciated- I already suggested she tries ubuntu because she constantly states how she likes the way my laptop looks.
WinZip can quickly unzip multiple files through its drag and drop interface. You can select multiple WinZip files, right click, and drag them to a folder to unzip them all with one operation.
From an open folder window, highlight the WinZip files you want to Extract
Right click in the highlighted area and drag to the destination folder
Release the right mouse button
Choose WinZip Extract to here
To unzip multiple Zip files without drag and drop:
From an open folder window, highlight the WinZip files you want to Extract
Right click in the highlighted area
Choose WinZip Extract to ...
Enter the destination folder

You can easily use the GUI for this:
Here is a trick I have found for extracting multiple zips at once without installing any extra programs:
Select the zip files that you want to extract
Right-drag them to an empty space (in the same folder is fine)
Select Extract and follow the prompts
Yes, it is not quite as nice as using the command prompt, but it does get the job done.
Also, wildcards do work with command prompt. Perhaps you weren't issuing the command correctly. This command works fine for me:
copy Unit*.zip D:\folder2\

Add folder in project setup

How to add new folder in vb6 project? I have a form and form uses some images now i want to move all the images under the folder images under the project in vb6 ? and later will reference the images from this folder.
You cannot do it in the VB6 GUI. It has a fixed layout - remember it is 15 years old and things (and projects in particular) were much simpler.
You can however have the files themselves in different folders. You can create subfolders on disk and move the files into there. 'Save As..' may work for the individual files. If you want to do quite a lot of files:
Start a new project
Distribute the files into the folders you require
Use 'Add Files' to add the files from each folder.

How can I extract a prpt file to make changes to it without using Pentaho Report Designer

I would like to edit the prpt file by making the changes to the .xml files within instead of editing it in pentaho Report designer.
I used winRAR and extracted the files, made the changes to the layout.xml and tried to "Add to Archive" by changing the extension to .prpt instead of .rar. This created the report fine but when I try to open this modified report in Pentaho report designer, it gives me "Unable to open the file as valid report definition".
I also tried doing the above without making any changes to any of the xml files but that did not work either.
Please can someone suggest any other way to do this. I would really appreciate any input on this issue.
Thank you.
prpt is just zip format. Be sure to indicate WinRAR to compress as zip, not as rar.
Additionally, also pay special attention to file content. Report files need to be in the root of the zip file and the datasources and manifest have to be in their respective directories.
I think You are simply compressing the folder in zip with extension prpt . Its a wrong approach jus compress the files in the folder not the folder with prpt name and extension with prpt .
it should be zip not Rar
