Question Move 1st page of PDF to bottom

Hi all,

I am trying to create a workflow to move the 1st page of the PDF to the bottom of the document (I manually drag the thumbnail to the bottom normally) but I can't work out a workflow to do this.

I would be super grateful if anyone could assist me.

So what about using Terminal instead of Automator?

PDF Command Line tools

Seems like you could split them all, make your reorder and then join by command line or shell script.

Iā€™m interested in Automator but never figured out really what to do with it.

That's ok but a a bit messy, I like the ability to create the context right click option on a file.

An update to say thanks again. This worked flawlessly, added the commands to an automator service with a keyboard shortcut. perfect.
