Hi,

I have a scanned PDF of an article where two magazine pages were scanned into each PDF page as the magazine was placed on the scanner and two following pages were scanend at one go.

Is there a way to split this so that every page will have a separate page on the PDF?

Thanks :)

sure. open original - Crop one side of the spread - save as "page 1". open the original, crop the other, save as page 2, close page 2. With page one open, select insert page...

if you have Adobe Photoshop - some other apoplication - save the PDF as a TIFF, crop into images - then in Acrobatr - open (File > Create PDF > Create PDF from File)hope this helps

Here's a much faster way than spliting each page manually:

The method works great for me!

Is there an automated way to split a large number of pages from two-page spreads to one-up single pages? I have a few books that are several hundreds of pages each.
