Unable to run ExtractPages even from Trusted Function

Question

I'm running Acrobat 8.31 on Windows 7 ... it's an old computer at my work

I don't think this should be hard. I am new to both JavaScript and JavaScript on Adobe, but I know Java and VBA pretty well.

From everything I've read, creating a trusted function and running extractPages from it should work and not be an error:

I test my function in the Debugger by passing in this...

test123(this);

(my code)

var test123 = app.trustedFunction(function(oDoc){

oDoc.extractPages(previousPage, p, "file" + p); //previousPage and p are variables that are initialized

<later again

});

and I get this...

"NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.

Doc.extractPages:20:Batch undefined:Exec"

I've have tried everything I can think of. Any idea why I would get this?

Where are previousPage and p defined? It will be better if you could post the full code.

Also, assuming "p" is a page number, you're missing the ".pdf" part of the file name in the last parameter of extractPages.
