Delete even or uneven pages in PDF with Pitstop Pro

Post by macfan55 »

I have tried everything but it does not work or it works very slow:
My problem is that I sometimes have to remove every even or uneven page from a pdf with more then 400 pages.
To select this in miniature page-pane in the pdf itself and then remove it with "Delete" lets me scroll very slow to the bottom of the pdf file.
This way it takes me several minutes to select the even pages in the pdf before I can delete them.
So I tried it with Pitstop Pro but I can't find out how to make a new Action-list with just the possibility to delete even pages.
If anyone knows how to do this with Pistsop Pro (I have Pistsop Pro version 12 update 2 and Acrobat XI and an Apple iMc with 10.9)

you can create an Action list

Select page range (range 1-) and choose even or Odd then Remove pages

There is no "remove pages" available to add in the action list - only "remove selection" and if I use that; only the content of the pages gets deleted, not the page itself.

I believe PitStop 12 already had the "remove empty pages" action. So: delete all the page contents first, then remove empty pages.
Otherwise it might be time to upgrade...

I just upgraded to version 2017 and there it worked like You suggested - deleting the even or uneven pages works! ;)
