Good morning. Does anyone know of utilities to purge records from the pl_journalPDFlog or to rebuild these files? Over time this file gets fairly large. Can the log be purged without deleting the PDF files?
Thanks so much.
I don't know why I never noticed this before... possibly a new feature (image below is v2023).
Haven't thought about this. I suppose you could use the Link Maintenance Utility, sort by date and then select from the oldest until a certain date and then delete them. If you make a copy of the PDF directory…
The Purge PDF Documents task has been in Paperless Office since the introduction of that module.
If the reason you are asking is slow load times for the Paperless viewers, make sure you disable all the "Load Data..." options, and enter narrowed filters before clicking Refresh.
In addition to rwclowe's tip of using Link Maintenance, you should also be able to delete rows using the Paperless Viewer programs... and if you move the PDF's to an archive sub-folder before doing so, there should be no risk of them being deleted.
