Have multi page document and need to delete every other page. Document to big to delete each page seperately.

[beths77923101]

I have a multi page document (1,000's of pages) and need to delete every other page.  I can't figure out how to do this & I know it's doable.  I just don't have the time to delete this one page at a time.  Please help.

What pages want you delete?

[philippanmei]

Open the page panel and select the pages that you want to delete it.. and press delete to the pages or click on deleted icon..

Thanks

That's exactly what they don't want to do...

If you have Adobe Acrobat DC Pro, you can create a custom command using the following JavaScript code to delete all even numbered pages:

// process document from the last page to the first page
for (var i = this.numPages-1; i>=0; i--) {
    if (i % 2) { // this will delete all even numbered pages
        this.deletePages(i);
    }
}

To learn about how you can create a custom command, follow the steps here: Create Custom Commands in Adobe Acrobat DC Pro - KHKonsulting LLC

If you want to delete all odd numbered pages, just change line #3 to this:

if (!(i % 2)) { // this will delete all odd numbered pages

If you are using an earlier version of Acrobat Pro, you can use an Action to accomplish the same. If you are using Adobe Acrobat Standard, you don't have access to the action wizard or custom commands, and you would have to write a folder level script to create a new menu item that can delete odd or even numbered pages.

I need to rotate every odd page to the right and every even page to the left, in a massive document...is there a way to select every other for both odd and even pages?

[Graeme237530269wdg]

Aactually, nevermind. I figured out a different way to have the document scanned in

Commenting to hopefully keep this solution active. This was exactly what I needed. Thank you.
