How to split a single scan of multiple docs into multiple files.

[BoarderX13]

I'm currently using Acrobat X Pro. I need to scan a pile of documents (bills, receipts, etc) and convert  them to PDF for archiving (this I can do). Problem is I want to scan 50-100 at a  time, and I want to save each as it's own individual PDF, not one giant  100 page PDF. Is this possible in Acrobat X? I currently scan in the docs, select the print button, and then in the print dialog box I type in the page number that I want to print. Very clumsy.

Thanks,

Brian

If you want more control over the resulting file names, you can use the extractPages JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.465.html

The batch sequence in the example has more details.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I was wonder if anyone could provide the complete script for this task (extracting every two pages). It looks like it has been figured out but I'm too much of a noob to put the pieces together.

Thanks!
