Split PDF into separate PDF files

I have a seven page PDF and I want to separate it ino seven individual PDF files. Is this possible? If so, how?

Not possible with Adobe Reader. You can extract pages from a unprotected PDF document with Adobe Acrobat.

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
Kindest regards, Stacy

Split PDF Files by Bookmarks

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
Rahul

I 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,
Josh

5 years later... hopefully this helps someone out there.

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 to split column wise into separate flat files in ssis

IN SSIS...
1.---->I have a sales table country wise regions like (india, usa, srilanka) ....
india usa
srilanka
a b
c
d e
f
so i want output like in
flat file1.txt has india flat file2.txt has usa flat file3.txt has srilanka
a b
c
d e
f
2.----->i dont know how many regions in my table....dynamically split into separate flat files ....
pls help me.....thank u

I think what you can do is this
1. Do a query based on UNPIVOT to get the data as rows instead of columns
For that you can use a query like this
IF OBJECT_ID('temp') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE temp
CREATE TABLE temp
Country varchar(100),
Val decimal(25,5)
DECLARE @CountryList varchar(3000),@SQL varchar(max)
SELECT @CountryList = STUFF((SELECT ',[' + Column_Name + ']' FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = '<SalesTableNameHere>' FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'')
SET @SQL= 'SELECT * FROM <SalesTableNameHere> t UNPIVOT (Val FOR Country IN (' + @CountryList + '))p'
INSERT temp
EXEC (@SQL)
Once this is done you'll get data unpivoted to table
Then you can use a execute sql task with query like above
SELECT DISTINCT Country FROM Temp
Use resultset option as full resultset and store the result to an object variable
Then add a ForEach loop container with ADO enumerator and map to the object variable created above. Have variables inside loop to get inidvidual country values out.
Inside loop place a data flow task. Use a variable to store source query , make EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set Expression as below
"SELECT Val FROM Temp WHERE Country = " + @[User::LoopVariable]
Where LoopVariable is variable created inside loop for getting iterated values
Inside data flow task place a oledb source, choose option as SQL command from variable and map to the above query variable.
Link this to flat file destination create a flat file connection manager. Set a dynamic flat file connection using expression builder. Make it based on a variable and set variable to increment based on loop iteration
The core logic looks similar to this

HT1473 When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

Generally, in iTunes, all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist to keep things together. For older iPods each track from the same album should have the same artist, or be marked as a compilation where appropriate. For iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On.
For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Splitting TempDB into multiple data files.

To avoid contention we have to split tempdb into multiple data files. But as for case suppose, there is 20 GB total space is on the drive containing 1 tempdb data file of 15 GB. And I have to create 3 more tempdb data files, and as recommendation all files
should be of same size.Then how to handle this situation and configure all data files with same size?

all data files with same size?
So your goal is to have 4 tempdb files, each 5GB? Below is a sample script to accomplish the task within the 20GB space constraint.
--reduce size of existing file to 5GB
ALTER DATABASE tempdb
MODIFY FILE (NAME='tempdev', Size=5GB);
DBCC SHRINKFILE('tempdev',5120);
--add 3 new 5GB files
ALTER DATABASE tempdb
ADD FILE (NAME='tempdev2', FILENAME='D:\SqlDataFiles\tempdb2.ndf', Size=5GB);
ALTER DATABASE tempdb
ADD FILE (NAME='tempdev3', FILENAME='D:\SqlDataFiles\tempdb3.ndf', Size=5GB);
ALTER DATABASE tempdb
ADD FILE (NAME='tempdev4', FILENAME='D:\SqlDataFiles\tempdb4.ndf', Size=5GB);

Import not splitting scenes into separate clips

I am having a problem that I never encountered before upgrading to iMovie 6.
When I import my Mini DV footage, iMovie no longer splits it into separate clips with each scene break. And, yes, I have selected the "Start a new clip at each scene break" option in Preferences (I have even tried deselecting it, and then re-selecting it). The separate clips option always worked with iMovie 5.
I end up with one long clip, and have to spend extra time manually splitting it up. Very annoying.
My camcorder is a Samsung SC-D351.
Any thoughts?
Message was edited by: H S Rollans

Thanks, David and Robert. Robert got me thinking in the correct direction, and David came to the same (correct) conclusion that I did.
Because the problem first happened after I upgraded to iMovie 6, I wrongly assumed it must be a software issue. However, the problem was indeed the camcorder's internal clock. When I checked the info on the last (uber-long) clip I had imported, it told me the create date was 2017.
Once I replaced the camcorder's internal battery and reset the clock, all was well. So, I feel a bit like a dummy. But thanks for letting me bounce my question off you, and for steering me in the right direction. Hopefully this thread will help somebody else with the same problem in the future.
Oh, and thanks to Smtr for trying to help.

Reader XI Version 11.0.07 running on Windows XP SP2/3 -- can't split .pdf file ; Tools -- Pages menu not visible/available

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 ,
Peter

No, you need to purchase Acrobat to be able to do that. The free Reader can't perform such editing tasks.

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.
Thanks

I've done this using a program called PDFKey Pro. It's a paid app, though you may also find free alternatives.

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.

Splitting pdf files

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 Application into separate projects

I'd tried to split my domain layer (annotated EJB3) into separate project, from my service layer (EJB3 session beans) - that used to run together happily but I got the following error against each entity.
Exception [TOPLINK-198] (Oracle TopLink - 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.0.0) (Build 060118)): oracle.toplink.exceptions.DescriptorException
Exception Description: In order to use ObjectChangeTrackingPolicy or AttributeChangeTrackingPolicy, class com.davinci.capital.domain.tran.Tran has to implement ChangeTracker interface.
Descriptor: RelationalDescriptor(com.davinci.capital.domain.tran.Tran --> [DatabaseTable(TRAN)])
When I put the projects back together I still got the problem. I think it might be related to the enhancement process and somehow picking the un-enhanced code.
Is there someway to 'reset' a project/application? I tried removing the project (and leaving the source) and then creating a new one with the source still in place, but the error remains.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Michael

Somewhat answered this myself.
Appears that I had some unenhanced domain class files lying around in the DAO layer - these where getting picked up instead of the enhanced ones.
However it appears I there is a problem having EJBs spread around different projects within the application. The above problem appears to be related to having two-way dependencies so I get two copies of classes file created - and it picks up the unenhanced one.
The real problem is that I can't have EJB's in multiple projects - its appears to only create an ejb-jar.xml for EJBs in the "target" project (embedded OC4J) - the EJB's in the related projects are ignored.
If could split EJBs into projects then I would not have two-way dependencies and the original problem goes away.
Any ideas?

Split records into Multiple csv files using a Threshold percentage

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to split the data into two csv file from a table using a threshold value(in Percentage) .
Assume that If my source select query of interface fetches 2000 records , I will provide a threshold value like 20%.
I need to generate a csv1 with 400 records(20% of 2000) and the rest of the records into another csv2.
For implementing this I am trying to use the following process.
1) Create a procedure with the select query to get the count of records.
Total Records count: select count(1) from source_table <Joins> <Lookups> <Conditions>;
2) Calculate the Record count to first CSV using the threshold_value.
CSV1_Count=Total records count /threshold_value
3) Create a view that fetches the CSV1_Count(400) records for CSV1 as follows.
Create view CSV1_view as select Col1,Col2,Col3 from source_table <Joins> <Lookups> <Conditions>
Where rownum<=CSV1_Count;
4) Generate CSV1 file using View 'CSV1_View'
5) Generate CSV2 File using the Interface with same select statement (with columns ) to generate a CSV.
select Col1,Col2,Col3 from source_table ST <Joins> <Lookups> <Conditions>
Left outer join (Select Col1 from CSV1_View ) CS on CS.Col1=ST.Col1 where CS.Col1 is null;
Which gives the Total records minus the CS1_View records.
The above process seems a bit complex and very simple . If any changes in my Interface I also need to change the procedure (counts the no:of records).
Please provide your comments and feedback about this and looking for your inputs for any new simple approach or fine tune the above approach.
Thanks,
Arjun

Arjun,
This are my thoughts and Lets do it in 3 Steps
Step 1. ODI Procedure
Drop table Temp_20 ;
Create table Temp_20 as select * from table where rownum < ( SELECT TRUNC( COUNT(1) /5) FROM TABLE ) .
[ ** This way iam fetching approx 20% of the table data and loading into Temp table . 1/5 th is 20% so i am dividing count by 5
I don't believe View will help you especially with RowNum as if you run the same query with rownum < N the rows order might differ . so Temp table is great ]
Step 2 . Use OdiSqlUnload with select columns from temp_20
Step 3 . Use again OdiSqlUnload with select columns from table where ( uk keys ) not in ( selecy uk_keys from temp_20)
[** this way you can pick the remaining 80% ** and the data will be not repeat itself across 20% and 80% , as might happen with view ]
what do you think ?

Iphoto splitting photos into separate events

IPhoto used to have a selection to turn off autosplitting photos into events when importing. That option is gone. The best I can find not is to autosplit items into one event per week. Is there a way to do this (i.e. through the terminal) or is there a third-party option?
thanks!

After looking around on the discussions I guess you're right about it not being an option, but I can tell you that I routinely import photos from our camera spanning multiple days (weeks even) without iPhoto autosplitting them into separate events. The autosplitting just cropped up today, and whether the older behavior was due to a corrupted preferences file or some other glitch, I want it back. I appreciate your orgainizational advice, but I simply do not care to work that way - I much preferred the old iPhoto 'camera roll' analogy and hate when iPhoto second-guesses me about how to organize my photos. Is there a way to force iPhoto to stop autosplitting?
Thanks!
