Reversing pages of a PDF

bangersandmash · October 21, 2010, 9:36pm

Does anyone have a script to reverse the page order of a PDF? I have a PDF generated from my scansnap where I accidentally scanned the document starting with the last page. Any thoughts on how I can get page 1 to be the first page instead of the last page, etc.?

Thanks in advance.

Get Moonwalk

Thanks for that suggestion, korm. Nicer than setting Paper Handling > Page Order > Reverse and selecting PDF > Save as PDF in a Print dialog.

PDFpen has an applescript that can do this. It doesn’t look like DT exposes the pages via Applescript, so I don’t think we could port the script as is. I looked into Skim, but while it exposes the pages as separate objects, the move command gives an applescript on pages.
