Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Help opening PDF files with long file names and extracting pages (desire OS/2 solution)

Content Type: text/plain

=====================================================

Normally I use Acrobat Exchange for Windows V 3 or 2.1 (which run on
WinOS/2 hybrid 1.25/1.30 update) to open multi-page PDF files and extract
or reorder pages, e.g. to create a smaller version with only some pages
to send to others. However today I have been given a CD
created with LFN in which my V 3 of Exchange cannot see any files, perhaps
because of the LFN. I can view the file structure OK in eCS from the
drive object pull-down menu. (For some reason I cannot see them from
the OS/2 command prompt--why?)

What solution have I (solutions?) that will work on OS/2 to read the
file names, open the file, AND EXTRACT PAGES. Will GS or some other tool
do this? Note: this is not a function part of Reader; the page extraction
utility is part of the (highly expensive) Acrobat professional package. I'd
rather not spring for several hundred dollars (and run Win98) or order
to manipulate one CD.

If my Exchange V 3 can be reconfigured somehow to work that would be nice
to know too.

Any kind soul with a solution please give me enough detail to implement
(e.g. where to d/l, gotchas, location of help files) as I am running against
the clock on this one with no time budget for floundering.

Thanks for all help.
