Hey guys,

I have a document that has 476 pages in it.

I want to export every 1-4 pages as a new pdf.

eg 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 etc so that I end up with 119 pdfs

Any idea on how to do this ? with out typing in the page range for each one on exporting.

Your help would be very much apperiated

What Steve says! You can do it in Acrobat!

It can also be done with our commercial script, Extract Pages | Id-Extras.com

with the advantage that you can have very flexible file naming for each of the PDFs, and more.

(But, for now, only for regular PDFs, not interactive PDFs. You don't mention which kind you're looking to export.)

Thank you!

Am looking to export pdfs for print. I am creating gift wrap print files with a design on each page. Is there a way for them to take the name of the design on export?

If the name of the design appears somewhere on each 4 pages, and has a special character style or paragraph style applied to it, or can be found with a GREP search, then yes, you can use the name of the design as the PDF filename.
