Extract a single page from multi-page PDF.

This seems simple enough but I just can't nail it down. I know i want to always extract the next to last page of a mulit-page PDF. The page count of the PDF will be different each time, the key is next to last page. So, if I have a 200 page PDF, I want to remove page 199 and send it down one path. Then, I want the now 199 page PDF, to continue on through my flow.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks,

Adam

Switch's file statistics can tell you the number of pages. You could split the PDF, discard the last page and the merge the remaining files into a new PDF. Or write an Acrobat script to delete the last page.

Thanks Dwight... Ok, now... I know where to pull statistics from and total page count. Once the PDF is split I am not seeing how to re-route the last two pages and keep the other in place. I actually only need the next to last page, but the last page is blank, so i can discard that later. How do I "generically" tell my flow to regardless of page count, always route last two pages to folder "X"?
