Good morning,

I am hoping to get assistance with inserting a page break based off of a condition in my PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. I would like to instet a page break before every occurence of the phrase "Grading Legend". Is there a way to do this a or a way to set up an action wizard/Java Script for this?

Thank you!

To be clear, you cannot insert a page break into a PDF, not manually, not any how, so there is not going to be any JavaScript for it.

Wouldn't that be done in the original program that created the PDF?

Ideally, yes. Unfortunately, I do not have access to that program as the PDF is created based off of a report I run in a database/SIS. Because of this, I can't change the programming of the report and can only try and find solutions to editing the final result in PDF. When running the report in Word, some formatting and data is lost.

I think Adobe Experience Manager Designer* could do this, but I don't see it being done in a static PDF in Acrobat. (Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.)

Can you get the data ouput as tab-delimited or CSV instead of a PDF? Then you could manipulate it before making the PDF.

'*AEM can pull data directly from a database and create flowable PDFs, but they are quite different from Acrobat PDFs.
