Hey folks

I don't know if anyone can help with this, it should be straightforward though. I have a 2 PDF documents called Doc1.pdf and Doc2.pdf. Doc1 contains all of the odd numbered pages of a main document and Doc2 contains the even ones. I would like to merge the Doc2 even pages into Doc1 in their respective positions.

I am not sure how to use Javascript at all; I just know that it exists. If anyone could help out with this one, I would be quite grateful. All suggestions are welcome.

PS I do know that I have to do this from the Javascript console or window or whatever it is called since I cannot install new .js files (not adminstrator).
