Hello again lennelei,

This works as expected, based on your last update (To resume: for any pdf, I need to keep at most the 100 first pages (if the pdf is 15 pages, I leave it untouched ; if it's 654 pages, I create a new pdf with the pages 1 to 100 included).).

It creates a new pdf (100 pages) if the pdf is (above 100 pages).

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use PDF::API2; my $file='test.pdf'; my $newpdf = PDF::API2->new(); my $oldpdf = PDF::API2->open($file); if ($oldpdf->pages() > 100) { printf " (%d pages)\n", $oldpdf->pages(); for my $page_nb (1..100) { $newpdf->importpage($oldpdf, $page_nb, $page_nb); } $newpdf->saveas("_".$file); }

Hope this helps, BR.

Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!
