Export PDF reverse pages?

[pspdfppdfxhd]

InDesign can export in reverse order though I wouldn't want to do it for a large publication. To do it, specify each page in reverse order, ie...16,15,14,13 etc. It won't let you enter something like 16-1 to do all 16 in reverse order. You have to enter each page individually.

Cool. Damned cool. One to keep in the back pocket.

The PitStop Pro "Reverse Page Order" standard action list is also one of my faves!

Getting an error message after I enter the script
Tried typing the bracket after where it is highlighted but that didn't work

this is what you need to put in the script box, all of it in its entirity:

for (var i = this.numPages - 1; i >= 0; i--) this.movePage(i);

  It worked!
Thanks Wonderings, I like learning stuff

no problem, I know I was confused on what to exactly paste in there first.

Because I'm at the new shop with a *new* computer, I still come across things from time-to-time I need to update. We have PitStop, but it's an ancient version on Acrobat 9 and ONLY on the Fiery. So I had to look this up again, but then I couldn't remember how to do it. Just putting this here as a reminder: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/how-to-reverse-pages-order-in-acrobat-pro-dc/td-p/7954076

In Acrobat Pro DC  Go to

Tools --> [scroll all the way down] -->
Customize -->
Action Wizard -->
New Action --> [Scroll down under left panel "Choose Tools to add: -->
More Tools -->
Execute JavaScript -->
the new action will appear on the right panel -->
Set your defaults: I left it on  -- Files to be Processed --> Currently open file as default"
Under the "Execute Javascript" click on -->
Specify Settings   (Why doesn't it say "Enter Your Script" ??)
another panel opens... paste in this script:
    for (var i = this.numPages - 1; i >= 0; i--) this.movePage(i);
click OK to close and then save the action...
You will be prompted to name the action,
name it " Reverse Page Order"  and save..
Now new action appears in the action wizard Actions List "Reverse Page Order"
it works!

Here is another way to reverse order pdfs.
Extract all the pages,
Now go to File> Combine> Merge files into a Single PDF.
Then click the "Name" tab on the top left and this will reverse the order of the pages.
Press "Combine Files" and now you have a pdf in reversed order.

We've got Quite Imposing which will do this in a "click", but I like the creativity of that one!

You could extract a 10,000 page pdf to your desktop and tell the boss, looking at your desktop: "Boy, am I busy!"

I'm so rusty. Can anyone help me create an action in Acrobat that will take a 34x22 document and reduce it down to 17x11 (changing the page geometry to reflect that) by NOT using the Print dialogue?

[Joe]

So do want to shrink the content too or just change the page boxes? The Acrobat cropping too can change the page boxes. Not sure if there is an Acrobat action for that though. If you need to also reduce the content not sure you can do it with just Acrobat. Pitstop can do it though.

or using prepress fixups?

I have some site plans that are 34x22 but we need the files to be 17x11. I need to create an action or create a prepress fixup to reduce it.

[Joe]

Not sure how many files you have to do it too but if you don't have Pitstop you could place the PDF into an InDesign 17 x 11 document and reduce it by 50% when you place it. Then export a new PDF.

[Joe]

Also you could do it with an Acrobat preflight profile but I don't have a full blown copy of Acrobat to create one for you. You would need to create a fix up in the profile to reduce the page/content.

Quite Imposing does things like this very well. Essential plugin for my toolbox.
