I have a multiple page PDF of atleast 3000 pages. I need to move artwork on each page to a desired location. As of now I am going to each page and hand moving the artwork over. Is there an easier way to do all of this at the same time? Please help

I have a multiple page PDF of atleast 3000 pages. I need to move artwork on each page to a desired location. As of now I am going to each page and hand moving the artwork over. Is there an easier way to do all of this at the same time? Please help, this is an order that is going to be coming soon again and I need to cut down on the pre-press side of things.

I'm amazed and impressed you can do this at all. Certainly you cannot automate it. This is so very far from how PDF is expected to be used. Get the original, edit the original.

What type of artwork is in the PDF? What program created the PDF? I believe a PitStop action list can select and copy all (raster) images, but I'm not sure if they can be saved to a specific location. You can ask at the Enfocus forum, perhaps someone can write a script for you that can do what you ask. Enfocus Community - Community index

Another method is to open the PDF in Photoshop, which will ask you if you want to save the page or images (say images). It would be better to get the original native files, if possible, not just to save time, but also because the images in the PDF may have been down sampled while the PDF was being created, or after, to reduce the size.
