In this IDF script, information on its configuration is contained within an INFO element. The odd (non-blank) pages from the specified BASEFILE attribute are extracted to make a new PDF. This ensures that no subtle features of the original file are lost when the new PDF is exported. The "info" is not used by EscapeE when it exports the new PDF.
