deleting pages of a pdf doc with VB

Assuming you're using IAC, there's the PDDoc.DeletePages method, or you can use the doc.deletePages JavaScript method, either via JSObject or Fields.ExecuteThisJavascript method.

George,

I'm using VB. Do you know of any sample code?

Thanks

Joe

Well, how are you currently inserting pages with VB?

George

George,

Here's my code. What I can't find is how to select the first 6 pages to delete.

Regards,

Joe

' Get the first pdf file in the directory
'strFileName = Dir(strPath + PDF_WILDCARD, vbNormal)
strFileName1 = Dir(strpath1, vbNormal)
strFileName2 = Dir(strpath2, vbNormal)

' Open the first file in the directory
AcroExchPDDoc.Open strpath1 ' + strFileName1

' Get the total pages less one for the last page num [zero based]

'If vpagesetflg = "cpi" Or vpagesetflg = "db" Then
'iLastPage = AcroExchPDDoc.GetNumPages - 6
'Else
iLastPage = 5
'End If

Set AcroExchInsertPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")

' Open the file to insert
AcroExchInsertPDDoc.Open strpath2 '+ strFileName2

' Get the number of pages to insert
iNumberOfPagesToInsert = AcroExchInsertPDDoc.GetNumPages

' Insert the pages
AcroExchPDDoc.InsertPages iLastPage, AcroExchInsertPDDoc, 0, iNumberOfPagesToInsert, True

' Close the document
AcroExchInsertPDDoc.Close

' Get the name of the next file in the directory
'strFileName2 = Dir
'Loop

' Save the entire document as the JOIN_FILENAME using SaveFull [0x0001 = &H1]
AcroExchPDDoc.Save &H1, vdirOutput '+ recid & JOIN_FILENAME

So you are using IAC (InterApplication Communications) methods with VB. Have you looked at the documentation for the PDDoc.DeletePages method?

George

George,

Where do I find the documentation?

Joe

Oh, I assumed you had it:

Thanks, that's what I needed.
