Extract pages in order specified

[joost]

Hi there,

Using the viewer SDK, i'd like to extract pages in a particular order, so if i use "2, 1" as rangetext, I'd like the resulting PDF to start with the second page of the source PDF. How can i do this? Now it looks like the page list is being sorted before extraction. The standard pdf-viewer has the same problem

Hi Joost,

Simply reorder the pages to the way you want them (e.g. using some JS code), and only then continue with the extraction process.

Best,
Stefan

Hmm.. Is that the only possibility? I'd rather not touch the original document.. rearranging pages might make the original document "invalid"

Hi joost,

You can reorder the pages, perform the extract, and then just discard the changes to the original, or alternatively - you can extract the pages, and reorder them in the new document instead.

Best,
Stefan
