If you have Adobe Acrobat you could do this in a 2 stage process. 1. The first stage is to create a batch process that takes a multipage pdf file and creates individual single page pdf files in a temporary directory. If you installed all of the batch sequences, this batch sequence already exists it is called "Extract Pages to Folder". If you do not have the install disk you can recreate the sequence using javascript. /* Extract Pages to Folder */ // regular expression acquire the base name of file var re = /.*\\/|\\.pdf$/ig; // filename is the base name of the file Acrobat is working on var filename = this.path.replace(re,""); try { for ( var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) this.extractPages({nStart: i, cPath: "/F/temp/"+filename+"_" + i +".pdf"}); } catch (e) { console.println("Aborted: " + e) 2. You could then take those single page pdf files and run a second batch process on them and create single page .ps files. (Change the "Save as RTF" batch process to "Save as PS") Good Luck, Sam Brenner To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
