I noticed when using pdftk the bookmark of the original pdf files are lost? Any idea how come?

And is it possible to send email of certain files are missing?

What does &pause means icm with pause?

Questions:

1 But the last line is not working.I want to move the file only when the file exists. What am i doing wrong?
2 And Before moving i need to create backup of file in %file_loc%.
So i need to check if %main_file% is already available in %file_loc%, if so move that file to %old_folder% and add time stamp to filename %main_file%

3 And does any one has an idea when using pdftk the bookmark of the original pdf files are lost?

thanks for your help guys!

set "file_2=Report 2.pdf"

set "file_2=%folder%\Report 2.pdf"

IF not Exist "%file_1%" to IF not Exist "%folder%\%file_1%"

IF Exist "%folder%\%main_file%" ( move "%folder%\%main_file%" "%file_loc% ) else ( Echo "%main_file%" file is not created. )

Copy /Y "%main_file%" "%old_folder%\Main_file - %date:/=%.pdf"
