Hi Earthmag! Thank you for offering to contribute. May I request that you contribute to some of my favorite software-related organizations: Software in the Public Interest ( spi-inc.org ) Free Software Foundation ( fsf.org ) FreeBSD Project ( freebsd.org ) or any allied academic institution? That would be the best way of saying "thanks" with $$$ that I can think of! 🙂 Please note that I am not the original author of either of the scripts -- I merely made them a little easier to install and to use. ...

Here is the latest version of this script, compabible with Acrobat X. The functions have been moved into the "Edit" menu because there is no tools menu in Acrobat X. It still maintains compatibility with Acrobat 9. Unfortunately, you'll have to manually copy and paste this into a file because Adobe has disabled the file attachment feature on Jive Forums . // Complements: Planet PDF (http://www.planetpdf.com/) // Modified by Jeff Baitis for Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X compatibility // Improved Collate function with status bar. // Add a menu item to reverse all pages in the active document app.addMenuItem({  cName: "Reverse", cParent: "Edit", cExec: "trustedReversePages();",  cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);", nPos: 0 }); // Add a menu item to collate with another document on the filesystem app.addMenuItem({  cName: "Collate", cParent: "Edit", cExec: "trustedCollatePages();",  cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);", nPos: 0 }); trustedReversePages = app.trustedFunction(function() {   app.beginPriv(); // Explicitly raise privileges   var t = app.thermometer;   t.duration = this.numPages;   t.begin();   for (i = this.numPages - 1; i >= 0; i--)   {     t.value = (i-this.numPages)*-1;     this.movePage(i);     t.text = 'Moving page ' + (i + 1);   }   t.end();   app.endPriv(); }) // Collating pages /*   Title: Collate Document   Purpose: User is prompted to select document to insert/collate.   Author: Sean Stewart, ARTS PDF, www.artspdf.com */ trustedCollatePages = app.trustedFunction(function() {   app.beginPriv(); // Explicitly raise privileges   // create an array to use as the rect parameter in the browse for field   var arRect = new Array();   arRect[0] = 0;   arRect[1] = 0;   arRect[2] = 0;   arRect[3] = 0;   // create a non-visible form field to use as a browse for field   var f = this.addField("txtFilename", "text", this.numPages - 1, arRect);   f.delay = true;   f.fileSelect = true;   f.delay = false;   // user prompted to select file to collate the open document with   app.alert("Select the PDF file to merge with")   // open the browse for dialog   f.browseForFileToSubmit();   var evenDocPath = f.value;   var q = this.numPages;   var t = app.thermometer;   t.duration = q;   t.begin();   // insert pages from selected document into open document   for (var i = 0; i < q; i++) {       var j = i*2;       this.insertPages(j, evenDocPath, i);       t.value = i;       t.text = 'Inserting page ' + (i+1);   }   t.end();   // remove unused field   this.removeField("txtFilename");   app.endPriv(); }) ...

I've attached a script that adds two menu items into the "Tools" menu. "Collate" merges even and odd pages, and "Reverse" will as reverse the order of the pages in a PDF. To install it, exit Acrobat. Save the script into Acrobat's Javascripts directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Javascripts ), and restart Acrobat. I hope you find this script useful! ... View more
