Javascript for bookmarks

Question

I ran into a problem-can someone please help me?

i'm trying to write a javascript for bookmark.

my desire outcom would be:

1- extract the desire pages when clicked on the bookmark

2. make no changes to my original doc.

here is my code:

var pageNumbers = [0,1,20];

var newDoc = this.extractPages({
nStart: pageNumbers[0],
nEnd: pageNumbers[pageNumbers.length - 1]
});

// Save the new document (optional)
newDoc.saveAs("/C/Users/YourUserName/Documents/ExtractedPages.pdf");

// Close the new document (optional, if you don't want to leave it open)
newDoc.closeDoc();

the expected outcome is to extract and shows pages 1,2 and 21

but the issue is, it shows pages 1 to 21, i mean all the pages.

can you please correct my code inorder to shows only the 3 pages i asked the code.

thanks.

nStart:pageNumbers[0] is 0, the first page.

nEnd: pageNumbers[pageNumbers.length-1] is 20

That means you are extracting pages 0-20 (or pages 1 through 21). If you want to extract pages 1,2 and 21 you will have to either extract pages 1 and 2, then use insertPages on the new doc to get page 21, or extract pages 1 through 21 and delete pages 3 through 20 like this:

var newDoc = this.extractPages({
nStart: pageNumbers[0],
nEnd: pageNumbers[pageNumbers.length - 1]
});
newDoc.deletePages(2,19);

As @Thom Parker stated, you can't save silently unless you are calling SaveAs from a privileged context.
