Old problem but the Javascripts out there are not working for me and the whole implementation of scripts in Acrobat Pro DC has become more difficult.
I get books that are scanned back to front so the PDF has page 300 of the book as page 1 of the PDF and page 300 of the PDF is page 1 of the book
I just need to select all pages and reverse their order. But this does not seem to be an option in any of the tools for editing, organizing pages.
The Javascripts out there used to add a menu item under the "Documents" menu:
app.addMenuItem({ cName: “Reverse Page Order”, cParent: “File”, cExec: “PPReversePages();”, cEnable: “event.rc = (event.target != null);”, nPos: 0
});
function PPReversePages()
{
var t = app.thermometer;
t.duration = this.numPages;
t.begin();
for (i = this.numPages – 1; i >= 0; i–)
{
t.value = (i-this.numPages)*-1;
this.movePage(i);
t.text = ‘Moving page ‘ + (i + 1);
}
t.end();
}// JavaScript Document
but I find no means to run this script...
NO... I went to
~Users/MyDrive/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat
and there was no "JavaScript" folder there... I made one, put in the script and restarted Acrobat: "Nada" nothing.
So back to the web and search: I found this solution which does work;
In Acrobat Pro DC Go to

Thanks for solving this daunting problem. I had a 355 page manuscript that the pages were reversed. Without this help it would have been impossible to submit the work. The only problem I had understanding the above instructions was that you put "reverse page order" within the \* *\ space and type the java script on the line below. Muchas gracias. BTW, Adobe should be ashamed of themselves for not having this feature readily available.
