Hello,

I would like to split a PDF file containig more than 100 pages into different PDF files, one for each page. Is it possible ?

If yes, is it possible to execute this splitting from an extern application, by manipulating Acrobat by OLE AUTOMATION ?

Where can I find documentation about it ?

Thanks and regards.

Louis

Accepted Answer

The easiest method to split PDF files is to use the Document > Split Document command in Acrobat 9. Or, Tools > Pages > Split Document command in Acrobat X.

Hi,

If you are using an Acrobat version older than 9, you should also use this function after installing my free abracadabraTOOLS : http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=en&pg=15

Document > Extract Pages (with separate files checked) would be better (you don't have to know number of pages to split by). Dunno about automation...

Don't know about OLE automation, but with JavaScript you can do it using the extractPages() method.
