Question

Can Workflow be used to reverse the order of pages within a document?

asked on April 16, 2014

We have a large number of documents whose pages were imported in reverse order.  Is there a way to use workflow to reverse the order of pages so they appear in the correct order?

Hi Jean,

 

You could do this. I would recommend just using a find entry, then creating a new entry and moving the first page of the document to be the first page of this new entry. loop using the page count and you have created a new entry with the pages in reverse order

Jean, did you ever get this to work? is it possible to attach your workflow file so I can adapt to my system?

Fantastic Jim! Thank you very much for sharing :)

Looks like the secret is setting the moved page to go 'before' page 1. Brilliant!
