Batch Folder - Revert To Loose Pages

Moves all descendant Batch Pages to the root of the folder and deletes all subfolders.

Remarks

The Revert to Loose Pages command flattens the folder structure by moving all descendant pages directly under the selected Batch Folder and removing all subfolders.

Overview

Use this command to:

• Convert a nested folder structure into a single-level collection of pages.
• Remove all subfolders, leaving only pages as direct children of the folder.

Usage Notes

• Optionally filter which pages are included by specifying file extensions in the 'Extension Filter' property.
• If an extension filter is provided, only pages at level 1 or 2 are eligible for inclusion.
• This command is useful for undoing document separation, preparing for reorganization, or simplifying the batch structure.

Example: Before and After Reverting to Loose Pages

Suppose you have the following folder structure, where "Folder 1" contains two subfolders, each with pages:

Before Revert to Loose Pages

 Batch
  └─📁 Folder 1
     ├─📁 Subfolder A
     │  ├─📄 Page 1
     │  └─📄 Page 2
     └─📁 Subfolder B
        ├─📄 Page 3
        └─📄 Page 4
 

After running Revert to Loose Pages on "Folder 1", all pages are moved directly under "Folder 1" and the subfolders are removed:

After Revert to Loose Pages

 Batch
  └─📁 Folder 1
     ├─📄 Page 1
     ├─📄 Page 2
     ├─📄 Page 3
     └─📄 Page 4
 

This operation can be used to quickly flatten a folder, making all pages immediately accessible and removing unnecessary hierarchy.

Properties

Name	Type		Description
Extension Filter	String	►	Specifies a comma-separated list of file extensions to include in the operation. Enter one or more file extensions (e.g., .tif, .pdf, .jpg) to restrict which pages are included when reverting to loose pages. Only pages with matching extensions will be moved to the root of the folder. If this property is left blank, all pages will be included. When an extension filter is used, only pages at level 1 or 2 are eligible.
