Hello technical team,I am using adobe acrobat 3d but realy I dont know how to solve this problem:I have one file in pdf which contains calculation fields in the form,I want to make one hundred copy of the same file but each one must be independant from others,do I have to copy and paste the same file 100 times and after rename each one differently ? I tried to make a copy of this file but still the copy is not independant from the origin ,is there any way i can make it ,please if you can explain by easy steps and mail it to :naim_gate [at] hotmail [dot] com.

You can run a simple script from the JavaScript Console window to automate this.

Here's the Script: I've replaced the actual "less than" symbol with (lt)

var rootName = this.documentFileName.split(".").shift();
for(var i=0; i (lt) numOfCopies;i++)
{
this.saveAs(rootName + i + ".pdf");
}
