Split pdf file
Anyone know how to split a pdf with automator or applescript..
I want to be able to get one file out of every 2. page of the original file.
Like this..
Original pdf file may contain 10 pages.. I want the result to be 5 files with two pages in each file.
File one contains page 1 and 2 of the original, file two contains page 3 and 4 etc..
Not enought to split by even or odd pages as i need page 1 and 2 in the same file..
You need Adobe Acrobat to do so. Splitting a document is not possible with Adobe Reader.

How to split pdf files also how to downsize a pdf file?
how to split pdf files also how to downsize a pdf file?
Hi Ali,
If the PDF file you're starting with is larger than 100MB, ExportPDF won't be able to convert it.
To convert a file of that size and to create separate files, you'll need Adobe Acrobat. You'd need Acrobat to divide the file into smaller chunks for ExportPDF anyhow, so Acrobat is probably the best solution for you. You can learn more about Acrobat here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html

Can anyone please let me know how do I split PDF Files by bookmark using Java Script.
I am making a Visual Basic utility to read the bookmarks in PDF Files and split them based on the bookmarks. I am able to split the PDF Files by using Arts PDF Split Pro. However since I am already using Adobe Standard, I would like to do it with Adobe itself.
Thus, I pay license for only one software and not two.
Thanks
RahulI couldn't find much information online about this myself, but hammered away until it worked. You should easily be able to adjust it for your needs.

Script to Split PDF files on Bookmarks
I'm totally new to Java scripting. What I'm looking for is a script I can run from batch processing with professional that will look at a collection files in s directory and split ech one of them on their bookmarks into smaller files.
The bookmarks are all based on the page so it is possible to use the bookmark object's "execute" method to execute the bookmark action and pickup the page number.
I read that last part somewhere. If someone can give me a reference to a thread or just some code to get me started that would help. Thanks,
Josh5 years later... hopefully this helps someone out there.
I couldn't find much information online about this myself, but hammered away until it worked. My code is for a slightly different purpose, but you should easily be able to adjust it for your needs.

How to split PDF file by pages
Is there any programming way to split PDF into pages, say one PDF file per page or specify page range to split PDF file?
Thanks for your help.Yes it does. It disassembles pdf1 by extracting pages 1-3 and disassembles pdf2 by extracting pages 4-5. Then re-assembles the two subsets into a new PDF.
You could extract page1 from pdf1 only and create a pdf, then page2 of pdf1 into a different PDF using something similar to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<PDF result="Final.pdf">
<PDF source="PDF1.pdf" pages="1"/>
</PDF>
<PDF result="Final2.pdf">
<PDF source="PDF1.pdf" pages="2"/>
</PDF>
</DDX>
You can also use the PDFFromBookmarks tag to generate a new document for each level 1 bookmark created in a PDF.
<PDFsFromBookmarks prefix="stmt">
<PDF source="doc1.pdf"/>
</PDFsFromBookmarks>

how can pdf files be split, what is required and what are the steps?
Furthermore, emailing e-documents is never a good idea; they can get damaged, misdirected, or lost in the process.
Far better use a file sharing service like Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc., then send the download link via email. -
Splitting PDF files for iPhone
Is there any way to split large, protected pdf files to work with Quickoffice on the iPhone? Quickoffice has no "go to" page function making it very difficult to read a large document. I don't want to change anything in the file, just put the file into bite size pieces.
ThanksI've done this using a program called PDFKey Pro. It's a paid app, though you may also find free alternatives.

Hi , Folks
My ( free ) download of Adobe Reader XI doesn't permit me to split a ( scanned ) .pdf file into two separate .pdf files , as I would like .
The on-line Help advises me to go into Tools --> Pages to do this .
But my Tools menu does not have Pages , within it .
Do I need to download an older ( free ) revision ; i.e., Adobe Reader X ?
Please advise ,
PeterNo, you need to purchase Acrobat to be able to do that. The free Reader can't perform such editing tasks.

Appending and splitting pdf files
What is the best method of appending PDFs to documents
created via the cfdocument tag? In the past I have used 3rd party
software to not only generate but also append existing PDFs to
create one large doc. Is there a CF solution that allows for
this?Furthermore, emailing e-documents is never a good idea; they can get damaged, misdirected, or lost in the process.

How to add PDF files into a slides? (Flash 8)
I am new to flash and I am using Macromedia Flash 8. My task is simple enough: I need create a Presentation with Screens from PDF files: I have 10-12 PDF files which I want convert into flash presentation.
I have read this tutorial:
http://w3.id.tue.nl/fileadmin/id/objects/E-Atelier/Phidgets/Software/Flash/fl8_tutorials.p df
Chapter 11: Basic Tasks: Create a Presentation with Screens.
I'm having trouble how to add PDF files into a slides: I want insert a whole pdf file as separate slide, without splitting pdf file into separate elements: pictures, text, etc. I tried import pdf file into Flash, wheen import there is shown prompt how program should process this pdf file(add in stage, library, as keyframes, etc) , not clear which option is correct for my task. What I got is pdf file splitted into multiple images, text, - which is not what I want. I want keep PDF files without changes, preserve original design and formatting, just convert this pdf into flash, so presentation will consist of PDFs organized in correct order, then add navigation buttons and some effects. How to solve this task?Just to avoid potential confusion... PDF is an Adobe format, but Flash 8 is/was not. Flash 8 came out before Adobe bought Macromedia. Even today, I don't believe anything has been done to accomodate direct integration of PDF content in Flash.

Issue Bursting PDF file using delivery channel - filesystem
I have an issue happening randomly with the files that are created by the bursting process in the filesystem path mentioned in the bursting control file.
The PDF file that is the input to the Bursting process looks normal.
However the splitted PDF file created by bursting in the filesystem is having the font all messed up.
The input pdf file has multiple invoices. The issue is seen in one of the invoice that got bursted.
Can anyone give me some input into the cause of this issue. should anything be changed in the bursting control file.

I already paid for the service, but I can't seem to do the above.
If I upload the entire thing the process fails, saying the file is too large...I would suggest using an outside product, such as PDF Splitter (FoxyUtils SplitPDF - Split PDF Files Online for Free), or just open up the document in Chrome, and print from your desired start to end page as a PDF. Then try uploading the file.
There is no internal workaround available in Acrobat.com yet, as after all, it is still in its beginning stages, unlike the Acrobat desktop application.
Wouldn't be a bad suggestion, I guess, though, for an improvement to make for a future version. -

Edited by: getzkk on Oct 8, 2007 4:02 PMWell, the ability to convert the pdf to html and then to PDF is a worthy solution.
10,000 emails would require a batch convert solution.
This is very much beyond what I know. I'll have to leave this to better minds.
I could suggest a third party tool. Have a look at this:
http://a-pdf.com/faq/can-i-split-pdf-file-with-nonstandard-page-size.htm
Other than that,I can't think of anything else.

Does oracle ucm license allow to use itext libraries for splitting pdf
Hello,
we want to create a component which uses the itext component for splitting pdf files. The itext component comes with the oracle ucm 11g standard installation.
Our question would be, if it is allowed to use the itext libraries for our own needs, since the libs come with the standard ucm installation.
Where can we find out?
Greetings
BodhyMy understanding is you will require additional licences for the new installation in production. However, I am not an Oracle employee, a licencing expert or a lawyer, so I advise you to discuss this with your Oracle account manager.

Splitting an Illustrator document on several pdf-Files including cutting marks
Hello, I am new to the CC version and I wondered if it is possible to automatically split a bigger Illustrator document to smaller (printable) pdf files.
Right now i am having this kind of workflow:
Drawing on a big sheet - e.g. A1
Inserting "frames" size 18 x 26 cm in en extra layer
inserting "Glue here" marks with numbers, which then are supposed to be glued together when printed
cutting all lines on frame edges (This is still an issue for me in Illustrator CC - it worked with CS5 much better - there it was automatically snapping to the intersection point - got anybody also help for that??? )
copying each single frame and its content onto a new A4 document
exporting as png
inserting the pages into word, creating a pdf file
as you see - this process ist pretty long and time consuming, and no - I CAN'T just get it with my printer, because I wand that exact cutter marks in my pdf document.
Is there any way I could possibly automate that process - at least to some extent?
greetings
Sophieso how do I do that?
I mean i just have one canvas i drew on, not a multipage ai file
