Based on the bookmark createchild i like this idea.

I would like to delete the existing bookmarks first then add my own bookmarks. How do i do this?

The latter answer you wrote..., I assume you referring to this.bookmarkRoot.remove();

I have more queries. Can Scripting, also:

1. Execute a plug-in software, which I have installed to use inside Acrobat, to run inside Adobe Acrobat Pro?

2. Extract seperate pdf pages from 1 to the end of the Pdf file and place them in a specific folder.

Also, where could I find the batch sequences which I have created in the Acrobat directory folder? I created a sequence but I cannot find it inside the Acrobat folder at Program files called sequence (PC)? I want to duplicate the same sequence and modify it a bit for a second processing batch.

this.extractPages({nStart:5, cPath: "TestExtract1.pdf"});

It just saves the entire extract which I have asked to extract, into one full pdf file.

My purpose what I want it to do, is for it to save the SEPERATE/single pages from the original pdf mag, and save those single pages into a specific folder. How can I do this?

Hey Try67

Check this out...

Here is a looping system for extraction

for(var i=0; i<this.numPages; i+=1)

{

   var extr = this.extractPages({nStart: i, nEnd: i});

  extr.closeDoc(true);

}

It works by that it extracts the page and opens up but I need it to save somewhere...

Any help???

Like this???

for(var i=0; i<this.numPages; i+=1)

{

   var extr = this.extractPages({nStart: i, nEnd: i, "c\extr\page" + 1});

  extr.closeDoc(true);

}

Got the script to work eventually for extraction. The next issue is how to extract single pages for multiple pdf files, without it overriding the extractions.

For example,

If we have two PDF files in the source folder, and the javascript executes, it extracts and saves each single pdf file as it should.

The issue lies when it extracts the next PDF file, because it is overriding the extracted single pages which it did for the previous pdf file.

Is there a method ,or a coding, that will give me the source file name of the file I am busy extracting.

Purpose what I would like to achieve, is for the extracted single page to be saved, with the source pdf file name along with the page number from which it is extracting.

This will then not overwrite any files becuase every file will have a different name, obviously.

e.g. saveAs("/c/extracts/" + SOURCE_FILENAME + "_page_" + (page_counter +1));

Hi Try

The documentFileName works. However it saves filename with text info such as TRA5035...blah blah...

Irrevalent info put as a filename for extraction.

It has to saves such as

MagazineName_page_1

MagazineName_page_2

MagazineName_page_3

lol...my bad 

It is actually working...but it is adding the ".pdf" extension. How can I remove the extension of the DocumentFileName, so that I only adds just the filename and no extension?

eg. If the two magazines I have are called Bananas and Apples, it is doing this:...

Bananas.pdf_page 1,

Bananas.pdf_page 2,

Bananas.pdf_page 3

...

I would like it to do this:

Bananas_page 1
Bananas_page 2
Bananas_page 3

Is there a way to read multiple pdf files with different filenames, and do the following:

If filename has the words "apple"

then

add bookmarks for  "apple"

elese

if filename has the words "banana"

then

add bookmarks for "banana"

...

(The bookmarks are based on the main headings of the content page from the pdf mag file.)

The end object is to do this in batches/ all at once...

will try in a minute and see if this method works...

Why do you use test as your extention? Should it not be .pdf
