Extract even and odd pages - Adobe Acrobat

This flow splits a file into 2 files, one containing only the even pages and another containing only the odd pages of the file.

A JavaScript in the Adobe Acrobat configurator is used to do this.

This flow is compatible with: FullSWITCH, PowerSWITCH 06 Update 5 and higher

Information

Two copies are created from each file that is dropped in the "Input" folder. Each copy goes to a different Acrobat Configurator. Both Acrobat configurators run the same JavaScript on all incoming files but with different properties; one deleting all odd pages and the other deleting all even pages.

The result is that a PDF is created with only the even pages and one containing only the odd pages.
