Hi,
I have a lot of PDF documents that need their chapters extracted into separate PDF documents. At the moment I am having to find the beginning of a chapter (Page begins at 1 for every chapter) then find the end of that chapter and highlight that page. Then to extract it I using Alt + D + X, then save the new document by pressing Alt + C + F. I then close it using Ctrl + W and look for the next chapter.

I was just wondering if it was possible to automate this process at all? At the moment I can do it by just using the keyboard but would like it done quicker.

Any ideas of suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

In this documentation you'll find an example of a [url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/batch_sequences.pdf]batch sequence[/url] that you can use to extract pages from specific files and then save the extracted pages to a particular folder.
