We have the full Creative Cloud account and have updated to Acrobat DC.
Mac OSX 10.10
(Why on earth did you have to go and change where everything is?)
My question is as follows:
My staff need to extract pages from PDF's and store the pages as individual files - previously, they could extract a page and re-name the file in one simple action - now all they can do is to select the folder and save the file with the default filename decided by Acrobat. They then have to go back into the filesystem, in order to rename the file.
Their workflow has just been increased no end.
Is there any way to extract a page and save with a custom filename - all in one action?
While I certainly recommend the method that Aadesh suggests, you can always do it EXACTLY as you used to in previous versions using the Thumbnails panel, right clicking, etc.
I will point out one of my favorite features in the new Organize Pages tool is that you can now TYPE IN ANY page range descriptor to have that range automatically selected prior to extraction/deletion, etc. Try typing in things like "1-4,6-10" or "1, 3, 4, 6", etc.
This stopped working for me. Deleted 2 ranges, now when I continue with a new range, every time I type "1-2800," as soon as I tab through it snaps back to "1." Restarted, still won't work correctly. Any advice?
I did find this seems to be a bug on my system Windows 7 Pro. If I tab through the page selection window, or move away in in any shape or form, my selection won't stick, but if I select the pages as the last step and click Extract, without moving my cursor from that page range window, it works.
Yes, why indeed does everything have to change, all the time, no mattter if the product utility is improved or not. In the software world I believe it is called "the upgrade treadmill". But I wonder if it is remotely possible to calculate all the time lost to businesses everytime a "new and improved" version comes out and we have to learn it all over again.
My problem that I'm faced with is that I receive multiple files that range in the thousands of pages. I need to extract out each page inidividually (I don't care about the name). I've tried this with the Action Wizard using the organize pages, but it tends to only process 1 file and stop. I'm unfortunately not a script writer so I was hoping that I could drop the files into a folder and have Organize Pages-->Extract as individual pages/file work for me. I have subsequent automation software that picks up the extract output and does further work to it so naming isn't a big deal.
Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!
