Question Hi Carol- i have about 20 files that consist of anywhere from 2 to 20 smaller files in each PDF. Each separate file has it's own bookmark and i know there is a tool which i have that will split the PDF into separate files based on the bookmarks. Is there a way to batch this process so all 20 files can be done at the same time rather than me haveing to open each and processing the split tool for each?
Any help would be great! Thanks
Jerry
Answer Hi there --
For questions like this, I usually refer people to the Adobe User to User Forum. Unless someone's already developed a script to do this, there's not a way you can do it in Acrobat, unfortunately.
Most of the scripts I've found have been from people in the User to User Forums on Adobe's website -- and batch processing is something that seems to be woefully lacking in Acrobat at the moment.
