Reverse Page Order

[mccoole-creative]

I know you can reverse the page order when printing out of InDesign (via Print Dialog "General" options) but is there a quick and easy (non-3rd party plug-in or script) to reverse page order within Acrobat DC.

On looking up other answers; a MVP said he would never see a need for this but here in Wales, UK we have native Welsh language and English speakers and we produce a lot of bilingual documents, often with one language reversed and rotated to make up one half of a booklet.

I've created a free utility that allows you to do it with a single click in Acrobat: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Reverse Page Order (FREE)

I tried the print to pdf option jsut now. I'm getting an error: Acrobat wants me to save-as if I want a pdf, not print. Is there a way to add Acrobat pdf as a printer in my Mac system preferences?

-No.

Why not use the free tool I shared above? It can be used on a Mac, too.

I was concerned that it might be outdated since your original post was a few years ago. But if it's still good, I will try that. Thank you.

Yes, it's still good...

I created the .js file (see snip) but I am a total novice at the next step. Where is Action Wizard? Or, how do I do this: "On the mac, you'll have to open the package file of the .app file of your Applications folder, but the resources will be under Acrobat>Javascripts or Resources>Javascripts."

In my Acrobat folder the filename .app is the application...

You don't need to use the Action Wizard or create a .js file yourself. Get the download from my website and follow the instructions that come with it: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-reverse-page-order-free

Once installed correctly, the new menu item will appear under Tools - Add-On Tools.

Awesome! Thank you!

thx 212…bdcp, this seems like a good option for non-scripters like me! Is there a way to save as PDF from a PDF? I want to reverse the pages in the print dialogue box, but can't find the button for 'save to PDF'
