Extract Pages from PDF - with a twist.

Question

1. Acrobat extracts a range of pages in REVERSE order. Example - the last page in the range comes out as the first page in the extracted files. As per the naming convention used by acrobat.

2. If we have no fancy options, is it at all possible to reverse the default extract order from acrobat? So page 1 is name_1, and page 10 is name_10. ??

In an ideal world, I would like to extract and use the invoice numbers as part of the extracted filenames.

1. Is this a request? If so, it can be done using a script. Or you can simply reverse the page order after extracting the pages. You can use this free tool I've developed for that: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-reverse-page-order-free

2. Not sure I follow, but if you want to use content from the page as the name of the extracted files that would require a custom-made script. I've developed many similar scripts in the past for my clients and would be happy to have a look at a sample file and let you know if it's doable in your case, and if so, for how much. You can contact me privately via PM to discuss it further.
