Change page sequence in a .pdf-file automatically with enfocus switch

Maybe a really simple problem...!? But how can I change page sequence automatically in a .pdf-file with enfocus switch? My problem is: my first page of .pdf-file (one file with 48 pages) should change into the last and otherwise (last page into the first). I looking for a flow. May somebody can give me a advice.

Use SplitPDF then Rename to change the 1st and last page file names and finally MergePDF to put them back together.



If you have more complex needs, you could write a simple routine to rename the files in the correct order.

Dear dkelly, thanks for your post. But I will not manually change/rename pages. I need a application which I can integrate in switch...

Of course you do not have to rename the files manually. That is what the "Rename job" element is there for. There is one thing you have to consider: after "Split PDF" the 48 individual PDF files are in a folder, so you have to change the "Files inside job folder" from "Leave alone" to "Rename files".



For the rename actions use "Search and replace" on the filename proper and I recommend to use "Define regular expression" with value _01$. The replace string is of course _048. And there is a second action to change _048 to _01.

Dear Freddy, thanks a lot for your kind help. But my created flow doesn't work, with your properties.

I created a simple flow that renames 1st and last files in a job folder using just the Rename files element.
