undo spawned page in Reader DC

You can use the doc.deletePages method to delete a page that was created by spawning a template.

It wasn't meant to be a script, but rather the name of the method you need to use. The Acrobat JavaScript reference documentation will show how it's used, particularly the start and stop page numbers. You'll need to be able to keep track of which pages were created by spawning a template. This can either be very simple or more complicated depending on how you've set things up. For example, if you begin with a single page PDF and it now has two pages (doc.numPages == 2), and you've set up the code to create a new page at the end of the document, you can delete the page with the following:

// Delete the last page of the document

deletePages({nStart: numPages - 1});

You can find the documentation in the freely available Acrobat SDK or by doing a search for "Acrobat JavaScript Reference".

Also, if you want to use a button on a page to delete it, you can use the following as the Mouse Up script of the button:

// Delete this page

deletePages({nStart: event.target.page});

Hi.

- Reader can delete spawned pages only. (vs Acrobat Pro/Sta).

- Spawning/deleting pages requires Reader XI or DC, this is not supported in older versions (but it works in any Acrobat Pro/Sta version).

- The PDF must NOT be Reader-Extended: this prevent spawning to works in Reader XI and DC.
