to display the Open dialog box. Select the file to be split. In all cases
the original PDF remains intact.
Split Mode
On valid input, splitting generates one or more output files covering
the whole content of the original document. The resulting PDF files (except
for a parity split) will be named “Segment 001 of [original file name]”,
“Segment 002 of [original file name]”, etc. Choose a split mode.
Split by file size: __ MB.
Splits
your PDF document into parts with no more than a specified file size.
The size limit should be between 0.50 and 10 MB. This is useful for
sending PDF files when bandwidth could be limited.
Split by parity of pages.
Splits your PDF document by odd and even pages. Two output files will
be created named “Even segment of [file name]” and “Odd segment of
[file name]”.
Split by blank page. Starts
a new PDF document each time a blank page is encountered. Blank
pages are discarded. The first segment always starts with Page 1 even
if it is not blank. You can place blank pages in an ADF when scanning
to PDF, then use this mode to split the file.
Split by pages: __
pages as a document.
Splits your PDF document into files, each containing an equal number
of pages. If you enter "3," the document will be split into
parts, each containing 3 consecutive pages. The last segment may contain
fewer pages.
Split by pages containing text.
Splits a PDF document at pages containing the entered word or text
string – it is case sensitive. A new file begins whenever the next
occurrence of the entered text string is found. The first segment
always starts with Page 1 even if it does not contain the specified
text. Comments, signatures, etc. are not checked for text match. Reports,
invoices or billing statements can be efficiently processed with this
split mode.
Split by pages. Splits a
PDF document into parts based on user-defined separator page numbers
(e.g. 7; 32; 87). The first segment always starts with Page 1 even
if you do not explicitly specify it. You are warned if you specify
invalid page numbers.
Split by bookmark. Splits
a PDF document at the page where the specified bookmark name is found.
The first segment always starts with Page 1.
Split by bookmark level.
Splits your PDF document based on a certain bookmark level. A new
file begins whenever the specified bookmark level is found. The first
segment always starts with Page 1.
Extracting Pages
On valid input, the output from Extract functions usually cover only
part of the original document, which also remains intact.
Extract by pages or page ranges.
Extracts parts of the document specified by user-defined pages or
ranges that should not overlap. Within a page range, pages may be
specified, and will be then output, in reverse order. The resulting
PDF files will be named “Segment 001 of [original file name]”, “Segment
002 of [original file name]”, etc.
On an invalid separator or on overlapping ranges, a warning is given.
Examples:
2;2-37;35-46 invalid overlapping
2;4-33;35-46 valid specification
Extract pages containing text.
Extracts pages that match an entered word or text string (this
is case sensitive) and saves them to a single file. The resulting
file is named by the entered text pattern. This option is useful to
extract pages that share common characteristics and group them into
a single file (for example, single-page reports submitted by a specific
person). Comments, signatures, etc. are not checked for text match.
Extract by bookmark. Extracts
all pages associated with a certain bookmark name. Enter the bookmark
name in the text box (case sensitive). The names of the resulting
files will be as follows: “[bookmark name]_001”, “[bookmark name]_002”,
“[bookmark name]_003”, etc
Extract by bookmark level.
Every bookmark section of the specified level is extracted into a
separate PDF file and named using the bookmark title. The resulting
files are placed in automatically created folders that mirror the
bookmark hierarchy (down to the specified level). An automatically
generated HTML index file provides easy file navigation.
Example: Enter “3” to extract sections organized under third-level
bookmarks. If your original document has four second-level bookmarks,
then four subfolders will be created with their own second-level bookmark
names each and hold the appropriate files, if any. The main folder
is named by the original file.
Click OK to display the Browse For Folder dialog box and
choose a folder, or make a new one, to save split documents. Be sure to
organize a folder structure for output files that avoids overwriting output
results from different splitting actions.
