I have PDF file and each page needs to be emailed to different person. The persons email is listed on each page. Is there a program/tool to split out pages from PDF and email off to address read off page?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

It's possible that one of the 3rd party split tools will handle emailing, but grabing the email from the page text is a tough one. Take a look at Areolist from [url=http://www.artspdf.com.]www.artspdf.com.[/url] I think that's about as close as your going to get with a comercial product

Otherwise you can script this in Acrobat as long as the text is searchable. You can't get text off an image.

With JavaScript you can extract pages, then search the text on each page for the email and send it off. You'll have to do it from a trusted function in a folder level script.

Read the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

Good Luck
