Is it possible to target the last page of a document when moving pages in Workflow?

asked on April 7, 2022

We have recently moved to using Adobe Sign for sending out offer letters and job descriptions. When the signed document is returned to us, it combines the offer letter and job description into one pdf document (which were originally separate) and tacks on a one-page audit history to the end of it.

I'm trying to build a workflow that will separate out the documents and save them separately. The issue I'm running into though is that pages can only be separated by page number.

  1. Page 1 is ALWAYS the offer letter, and it never varies in length.
  2. Our job descriptions begin on page 2, however, our job descriptions vary between 3 and 5 pages in length.
  3. The last page is ALWAYS the audit history, but because of the varying length of job descriptions that precede it, there's no way to target this page specifically (that I know of).
     

Is there any way, potentially using wildcard characters or something, to specify "the last page" or "the last N pages"?

For more context, I'm working with the "Move Pages" activity in Workflow Designer:

Not quite. But you can get the document's page count using Find Entry and go from there. "Pages" property in Move Pages will accept a token.

Does that work with TIFF files only, or can page count be detected from a PDF? If so, that might work! If not, then I don't think what I'm wanting to do is possible, lol.

That is only for image documents. Move Pages activity also only works with image documents, not the electronic component of a document (PDF, Word, etc).
