Batch processing on Acrobat PRO DC Macintosh

[marcs57112252]

With the older version of Acrobat Pro I use the batch processing to protect several PDF files in one time.

With Acrobat Pro DC (CC 2015) I can only protect PDF file one by one.

Did I miss something?

Thank you

You can use the Action Wizard.

Done. Not easy to find the Action Wizard (scroll to the bottom of the window), but now it's ok.

Thanks Bernd 😉

Hello. I'm trying to do something similar - I want to batch process many PDF files. They are all multiple pages, and I want to split every file into single pages. (Acrobat DC Pro / Mac)  Is this something that can be done? I played around a little in Action Wizard and was unable to figure it out. Thanks.

Yes, certainly. It's best done with a script. How do you want to name the individual files?

[MW17588]

Thanks for the quick reply MVP - I'm not an Adobe Acrobat genius .

Probably with a simple line of text, followed by some automatic numbering or something?

Like…

The original file name, followed by “Page x” where x is the page number from that doc?

MVP is a title, not a username...

Anyway, you can use this code to do that:

for (var p=0; p<this.numPages; p++) {
    this.extractPages(p, p, this.path.replace(/\.pdf$/i, "_Page " + (p+1) + ".pdf"));
}

Sorry on the name thing - but I see why it's a title. You're very helpful. However, since I'm not well versed in this, can you please hep me know where to paste that code? Thanks so much.

In the Action Wizard, create a new Action, add an "Execute JavaScript" command to it, then click on Specify Settings and paste the code into the window that opens. Make sure the "Prompt User" box is not ticked, and then run the Action on your files.
