iLovePDF StrawberryProcess files in iLovePDF, without opening it
Hand a companion the outcome. It reads the iLovePDF process files, does the 1-operation version of the job, and stops for your click on anything that changes a record.
Open the process file. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the iLovePDF afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what iLovePDF exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 1 operation, 1 read and no writes. In practice that means it can process files.
The iLovePDF API stops at iLovePDF. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Where do the process files come from?
The only operation there is reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can process files, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from iLovePDF's documentation.
The process files are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the process files. A companion can hold that operation and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of iLovePDF admin becomes a queue you review.
- Process Files
It can process files. Can it act on what it finds?
Through the screens you already use.
iLovePDF exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives iLovePDF in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a process file, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a process file in iLovePDF touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
What does the recurring process files pass look like?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the iLovePDF process files pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the planning, the iLovePDF process files sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
