Delete pages from PDF
Delete pages from PDF
Is there a script I can use in the Acrobat module to delete pages from the Preflight report. I'm trying to delete from page 3 to end. Any help is appreciated. Also is a place to get sample scripts to use in Switch Scripter

I'm sure there is a script available, but an easier way may be to use the split pdf configurator. I believe you can break the pdf out into individual pdf's, trash all the pages you don't need and then use the merge pdf to reassemble.

I did it that way first but every time a file goes through it would then go to the problem jobs folder and I'd receive an email.

Re: Delete pages from PDF
When you split the pdf how many pages per file do you have it set at...?

If you have pitstop server you can delete pages there or use pdftk CLI. Either is more efficient than acrobat.

I'm trying to use Pitstop Server but the file just passes through the hot folder without being processed how do I make it process? I'm very green for the record.

The report needs to go to another PitStop element and run a saved action as below
