Acrobat JavaScript - Batch Delete

[Shankster118]

Hi Guys

I would be grateful for some help with this as new to javascript.

Im looking to create an action within acrobat to batch delete pages. These PDF documents are varied with the total number of pages. I would like to delete all pages but keep the first and last two pages within the document, so 4 pages remaining after running the script.

Thanks

Alex

If you have Acrobat Pro create a new Action and have it execute this code, and a Save command:

if (this.numPages>4) {
    this.deletePages(2,this.numPages-3);
}

Thank you for your help.

One more thing, I would like to be able to save it as a new file adding 'aprf1' at the end of the PDF after action is complete. Here's what I have done, but it doesn't seem to be working.

var filename = this.path.replace(re,"");

if (this.numPages>4) { 

    this.deletePages(2,this.numPages-3); 

cPath : filename + "_aprf1" + ".pdf"

}

Look at the options of the Save command. You can set it up there.

In the save step of the action you can specify the suffix.
