ExtractPageRanges

I have a PDF that I need to extract certain pages out and create another pdf with just those pages.  ISED seems to have the function:

QP.ExtractFilePages Input, Output, Pages

What I am passing is this:
QP.ExtractFilePages PDFName, NewPDF, "1-2"

When I do this the NewPDF does not get created.

Any help on why this does not work?

Hello mhc,

I confirmed what you have described.
It can be confirmed by simply downloading A Customizable Demo For Quick PDF Library at:
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/blog/2009/10/a-customizable-demo-for-quick-pdf-library/

and by editing the sample code of ExtractFilePages like below:

//QP.ExtractFilePages(GetInputFolder() + "sign_me.pdf", GetOutputFolder() + "extracted_page_range.pdf", "2-5, 8, 10, 13-19");
QP.ExtractFilePages(GetInputFolder() + "Moby_Dick_NT.pdf", GetOutputFolder() + "extracted_page_range.pdf", "2-5, 8, 10, 13-19");

sign_me.pdf works but Moby_Dick_NT.pdf does not work well and 13 pages of blank pages are produced.

And I tested with other PDF files which I have, and encountered the strange things.
Some files failed in being extracted ( error code is 409: Invalid file structure, file is damaged.) but if I copy them from C drive to F drive, they success in being extacted.
I wonder why the same files show different results.

Maybe this phenomena is because of my special environment. My OS is Japanese (But in my tests, no unicode paths are involved. ), and I develop with PHP and ActiveX.

Anyway, I think your description can be confirmed in my environment.
