I am looking to extract pages 7, 16, 17 of an 18 page document...and then combine them into one separate document.

At the moment I am using:

this.print({ nStart: [7 - 1], nEnd: [ 7 -1] });
this.print({ nStart: [ 16 - 1], nEnd: [ 17 - 1] });

Printing the pages and then combining them manually which is not great...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's no need to print them at all. Actually, it won't work if you do it.

The way to do it is to create a new document (using the newDoc method) and then insert pages from the old file into it (using the insertPages method). At the end of the process you delete the first page of the new file since it's a blank page added by default (using the deletePages method).

Well, I've provided the basic structure of the code to do it. Do you have specific questions, or do you want me to write the whole thing for you? If the latter please contact me privately (try6767 at gmail.com) and we could discuss it in more detail, including the price.
