HIPPA compliance

I have a problem with pdf files I'm receiving from a client. To remain HIPPA compliant I can't farm this out to anyone. Okay here's the problem. The PDFs all have seven pages, the cover sheet for some reason is page seven. I need to move page seven so it's in the page one position. I need to automate this process because it becomes too time consuming when I have nearly 1,000 individual PDFs to do this on. I bought the java scripting for dummies but, I don't have time to teach myself a programming language during the day. The client is aware of this issue but, says there is nothing they can do about it, so I'm stuck having to do the work myself.

I doubt you will find the answer in the dummies book. Acorbat uses a variation of JavaScript. You can freely download the Acrobat JS API Reference from Adobe.

You can create a batch process and use the following script to move the last page to the first page position.

// move the last page before the first page
this.movePage({nPage: this.numPages - 1, nAfter: -1});
