Hi There,

 

Thanks for your response over community.

There is no direct way to print only the first page from a set of file(s) as portfolio could consist of several file-type(s).

But, one can create a custom setting for the same. Below are the tools that could be used for the same from inside Adobe Acrobat.

Please do let us know, if you face any issue with the same.

 

Regards,
Swapnil Srivastava

Thank you Swapnil, this is great. I have been playing with the action wizard, and have made an action where delete is assigned to pages 2-300, (the pdfs are not all the same length, and I wish to delete all but the first page of each) when I try to perform this action, acrobat notifies me that the given document only has 38 pages, etc.

Is following a similar approach to the action I have laid out below a viable way to create one PDF with only the first page of the 101 source PDFs?

Thanks!

I don't think it will work. You can't use an Action to process files that are inside of a Portfolio. I would recommend extracting those files to a folder and then using an Action to print the first page of one one of those files.

This can be done using a simple script, such as:

 

this.print({bUI:false, nStart: 0, nEnd: 0});
