Javascript or Batch processing

You probably will need to use JavaScript. See the setPageLabels method of the doc object. You can get the total number of pages in the document with JavaScript via the numPages doc property, so you can know which page numbers to use when referring to the last two.

Thanks George for your input! I forgot to add that I'm not that familiar in writing java code. Would you happen to know a reliable source, or website that offers further help for someone like me? :)

Thanks again!

There may be some articles around here, so you might try a search.

Here's the seminal article on the subject: http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=Intro+to+Acrobat+5+Batch+Processing+&gid=6518You can e-mail me too.

Here is the JavaScript you can use in a batch sequence:

// Starting with the first page (0), set up a page label
// with a prefix of "COV00" and a starting sequence number
// of 1
setPageLabels(0, ["D", "COV00", 1]);

// Remove any page labels for the subsequent pages
setPageLabels(2);

// For the last two pages, continue the naming scheme
setPageLabels(numPages - 2, ["D", "COV00", 3]);


Just set up a batch sequence and enter the code above in an Execute JavaScript command. The setPageLabels function is odd in that is doesn't let you specify a range of pages, but rather just the beginning page. That is the reason for the second statement.

Thank you so much for your help George! Very kind of you to share.

Cheers,
