Extract Pages from Multiple PDFs

[JSHarper22]

I have a set of over twenty PDFs, all with the same page layout but different content. I need to extract pages 7-8 from each PDF into a separate PDF, but not all in the same file. Thus:

• PDF1 becomes pages.7-8_PDF1
• PDF2 becomes pages.7-8_PDF2
• PDF3 becomes pages.7-8_PDF3 etc.

I have tried using JavaScript, but cannot figure it out. Is there a way to accomplish this using JavaScript or Acrobat Actions without going through each file individually?

Yes there is. Use the "doc.extractPages()" function.

Here's the reference entry:

Here's a simple script for an Action.

this.extractPages(6,7,this.path.replace(/\/([^\/]+\.pdf$)/i,"/pages.7-8_$1"));
