Great thanks for you

The script works like as charm

Please can you tell me what should I change if I want to to place 2 pages from the second file between every 2 pages in the first file or 3 pages ........ etc

Thanks

In the following line of the script:

this.insertPages(i,pth,0,0)

The 0,0 is a range of pages. In this case it is page 1 to page 1 (page numbers are 0-based in JavaScript). If you wanted to insert pages 1 and 2, you would change this line to:

this.insertPages(i,pth,0,1);

Yes. First you need the path to the second PDF. Open it and run the following script in the console, then copy the path it returns to the clipboard and close that PDF:

this.path;

Next, open the first PDF, and run the following script in the console after pasting the clipboard from the previous step between the quotes in the first line of this script:

var pth=""; //paste the path between the quotes to the left
for(var i=this.numPages-1;i>-1;i--)
{
this.insertPages(i,pth,0,0)
}
