Pages extration

Look at the "Document > Extract Pages" menu item. Is there any reason why the menu item will not work for you?Thom Parker

it works, but i am extracting thousands of files. THat's why i need away to do it such as macro or something. Instead of, one file by one file to extract.

Have you looked at Batch Processing? the "Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing..." menu item.Is there some intelligence that's needed during the process to determine which pages to extract? If so then you may be able to use JavaScript in a Batch process.

I did tried out the batch processing but not with javascript. The batch processing that i tried, it will extract all the pages in which contain the phase we set. I also, look on the doc.extrac() basic simple javascript. This script will only can extract every pages that have same order, meaning on every file from page 1- 6 is fit content. Any other example you can direct me?

By the way, thank you very much for you help.

The problem with something like custom page extraction is that you need a way to be able to detect the target pages. When you look at a document you can tell a Table of Contents page from a regular page by the overall look. There's actually quite a bit of sophisticated processing going there. An Acrobat Script, or any software program has to have something a bit more specific. JavaScript can be used to search for words or phrases at specific locations on the pages. If you can break your extraction process down into a simple set of page range and search criteria then it can be implemented in Acrobat JavaScript.

Have you looked at 3rd party tools for splitting PDFs? There are quite a few out there and some are very sophisticated.
