Script for extracting multiple pages

Question

Hi,
I'm working with the default "extract pages" script: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_A croJS.88.465.html
I want to modify it to extract 2 pages at a time.  For example, say I start with a 6-page document.  I would like the script to extract pages 1,2 as one document, then pages 3,4 and 5,6.
How would I modify the script to do this?
Thanks!

You could use a loop, but you don't need to for what you want. Do something like:
// Extract first two pages to a new file
extractPages({nStart: 0, nEnd: 1, cPath: "/F/temp/file1.pdf"});
// Extract 3rd and 4th pages
extractPages({nStart: 2, nEnd: 3, cPath: "/F/temp/file2.pdf"});
// Extract fifth and sixth pages
extractPages({nStart: 4, nEnd: 5, cPath: "/F/temp/file3.pdf"});
Obviously, you need to change the file paths.
