Split pdf files in 800 pages
Apr 10th, 2018 at 5:17pm
 
Hello,
with watchdirectory it's possible split the pdf files? for example i need to split my pdf maximum 800 pages per file.
file1 800 pages
file2 800 pages
file3 270 pages (the last files have the final pages)

split in*.pdf -o out.pdf -chunk 800
this is possible.
Thank you

Hi,

Currently this is not supported but it seems like a nice idea.
Perhaps a "cutter" task that can
- remove the first x pages
- remove the last x pages
- split pdf in chunks
We will look into it for a future release

I found a command line tool called sejda that allows PDFs to be split, as well as several other actions. You may be able to make a script or .bat file that will execute the task by watchdirectory.

I plan on trying this out to split PDFs to single pages.

PDFSam is using sejda SDK.  You can run this with a script started by watchdirectorys ‚run .bat file‘ task.
