Hello,
I have a rather lengthy action list that performs a number of actions that results in the error message "bad parameter" when finished. Because
of this at times I am unable to save the file, but the file is essentially corrupt and useable. A workaround is to create a new blank page from acrobat and copy that page over.
However, I would like to rectify the issue and perfect this action list so that I can then create a Quick Run from it.
From my research the "bad parameter" issue is from when you:
...try to delete a page from a PDF, you see the error message “Bad Parameter.” The same error message may also occur when you try to insert or add a page to the PDF. The “Bad Parameter” error occurs when Acrobat finds some problem with the underlying structure of the tags in the PDF file.
This info is from https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/bad- ... robat.html
You can also see the message I get after the action list is completed:
I have included in the Action List to remove all metadata because I thought this might help, but it does not.
The intention behind this Action List is to impose a two-page file for a 6 3/4 Remittance Envelope to be print-ready for plating. It inverts the page positions, then changes the page box of the first page to be oblong, cuts and pastes the content from the second page onto the oblong first page, then deletes the second page.
Here is a link to the PDF and the Action List:
