When extracting pages from PDF in Adobe, how do I select multiple pages and produce one file?

When extracting pages from PDF in Adobe with javascript, how do I select multiple pages and produce one file?

example     I want pages  14, 300, 453, 1000, 6000 and produce one file with these pages

Also, how do I start the index at 1, so these numbers match.

Thanks so much for the help.

Delete unwanted pages and save the file with a new name.

Thanks for the advice Bernd.

I am trying to use javascript to exact mutiple pages and save a file of those choosen pages.

I have a code to pull one page, but I don't know how to pull mutiple pages.

You can extract multiple pages when you specify the start and end parameters.

Hello again,

I tried using both of those options.

If I use this;

this.extractPages({nStart:3, nEnd:6, cPath: "TEstExtract.pdf"});

I get pages 3 to 6, but what if I want to take pages 1, 9, 100, 10000?

Thanks

John

There are two ways to do that:

- Delete all the other pages in the file and then save it under a new name.

- Create a new file and import the desired pages into it, then save it (after deleting the first blank page that is added by default).

I've developed a (paid-for) tool that does the latter. All you need to do is provide it the list of pages to extract, either one at a time, or in ranges ("1-10, 20, 100-200" for example):
