I want to save a pdf file via button using the app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"); but I want to exclude the first page of the file and save the remaining pages. this .extractPages() doesnot work with Reader.. thatswhy want to use the Menuitem but want to exclude the 1st page. In other words i want a method which will save the file (except for 1st page) in adobe reader.

Below is the script i am using in the button field for deleting the first page and using menuItem to save it but it is not working in reader.

this.deletePages(0);
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");

Plz guide.

Thanks

That is not too surprising. You may be going beyond the expected model for Reader (fill a form, submit form data to a web site). Even submitting an entire form may not work.

Saving will save the whole file, by definition. Adobe really want to sell Acrobat to everyone for this kind of job.
