Hello,
 
when I use the page extract function, Acrobat will create a new document with a temporary filename e.g. "A3F568.tmp".
 
In the title of the document i still have "pages from 'originalFilename'.pdf"
 
how do i get the information about the original filename?
 
thank you,
michael

i want to grab the original filename per javascript.
after extracting pages there's only this *.tmp filename (doc.filename) available.

First of all, you can access the title info via this.info.Title , just remove the "pages from " part.
In addition, if you extract the pages using a script, then obviously you have a reference to the original document and you can get its filename without any problems.

first of all, i do not use the extract pages function per script function 'extractPages'.

this.info.Title is not offering "pages from ..", but the title of the original file.

-> i ask myself where the new title information "pages from [original_document_name]" is stored then.

I see what you mean...
Sorry, I don't know where this info is stored, either.
