JS Extract pages with a forward slash '/' in the file naming??

[Mike Bro]

Natively in Acrobat Pro DC on Mac OSX you can extract pages with a forward slash '/' in the file naming,  when I try via java script I get the below error message. I've tried creating a folder level script with a trusted function with the same result. my question is it possible to extract pages is with a forward slash '/' in the file naming with a script rather than replacing the forward slash '/' with some other character?

The script works fine when I replace the forward slash '/'.

Regards,

Mike

I don't believe that's possible, since the file name has to be universal and in Windows you can't include a forward-slash in a file's name, at all.

[Test Screen Name]

A slash is absolutely impossible and Forbidden in Mac file names. It is a directory separator and nothing else. Finder might do some weird trick, but the real file name won't have a slash. JavaScript does not use Finder.  Just avoid slashes, you will be happier. 

[Test Screen Name]

I can't find any Apple documentation to this effect, but I think that Finder swaps ":" with "/". So a file you see in Finder called A/B is actually called A:B. Meanwhile, a file called Re:Animator in the Mac shows up in Finder as Re/Animator. Apparently, AppleScript may interpret them either way.

So to me the take home message is: forbid both : and / in your filenames if you want to keep your hair!
