Title: Possible to 'split up' a PDF file page by page?
Post by: keyven on January 11, 2007, 09:41:20 PM

Is it? Like take out a specific page.

Currently I have a 20 Mb PDF file that I would like to split into 4 smaller components so I can email them out separately

Three possibilities:

1. Using WinRAR or a similar tool you can split the file into multiple archives. The only problem is you need all of the archives to put them back together.

2. Using the select tool, copy and paste appropriate amounts from the PDF into Word or something, then save as doc files.

3. Above, but use a free DOC-PDF converter to convert back to PDF if it must be in that format.

Many default Linux installations include PDF tools that can do all sorts of things, including splitting a PDF up into separate files for each page.  If you're Windows-bound, PDFTools (http://www.sheelapps.com/pdftools.html) is free and sounds like it can do the job.
