You can find more detail on how to do this in this discussion:
http://answers.acrobatusers.com/ViewQuestion.aspx?questionid=16649
Also, there is a pre-existing Action (for Acrobat X) that does this as well that you can find here:

Thanks,

Thanks,

5, 2014-02-21 21, 2014Hi Patty,
I have Acrobat X but I don’t have all the options shown in the Tutorial under “Tools.” Among others, I don’t have “Action Wizard.” I only have Pages, Content, Forms, Recognize Text, Protection, and Sign & Certify.
Any idea why the difference? My version of Acrobat X is 10.1.9.
Thanks,
Andrew
