I have a script that I got from someone
Window>Utilities>Scripts
Opens the script panel -
you can then right click any of them and locate it in your Finder/Windows
Edit any of them in a text editor
Paste the below code
Save it as Extractpages.jsx or something similar
Place it in the User folder of the Scripts panel.
@loicaigon I presume you don't mind me sharing this one?
