flatten page range seems to not work

Report · Jun 10, 2017

I am using the script below in a button on the first page of an 8 page document. Its purpose is to flatten the first six pages of the form and leave pages 7 and 8 unaffected by the script. However, all 8 pages are flattened by this script. I am not using and do not need the optional nNonPrint parameter.

this.flattenPages({

nStart: 0,

nEnd: this.numPages - 2,

});

Am I doing something incorrectly? How can I accomplish my objective of leaving the last 2 pages undisturbed by this script?

Also, since the AcrobatUsers.com forum was replaced, I don't believe I have ever received a response to a question I have posted here, whereas before I nearly always received a response. I don't know why I am not receiving response, but if someone responds to this, please send me an email to tell me that you have responded and how I can find your response.

Thank you.

You have an error in your syntax. There should be no coma after the last parameter.

If you want to delete pages 1 - 6 then the start page for JavaScript is 0 and the last page is 5 (physical page number less 1).

Adjusting for all of that it does appear you have found a but in the JavaScript. Without the named parameters the code works. with the named parameters the code fails. You should report this to Adobe through the Feature/Bug Report page.
