split pdf file

[elly00]

Hi

I would like to ask you if it's possible using vbs to split a pdf document
For example if my pdf have 3 pages I would like to have in a specif folder 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf basically one page should generate a document

thanks!!!!

Not by itself, no. You need a tool that can split PDF's and that supports scriptable COM automation (e.g the full Adobe Acrobat, but not Acrobat Reader). Word might be a possibility as your automatable tool, as it has the ability to open PDFs (but converts them to Word documents that may not look exactly like the original), and then - if on Windows 10 - you can print individual pages out as PDFs

Once upon a time I would have recommended PDFtk - the PDF toolkit (which I still use with AutoHotkey to script merging and splitting PDFs). However, I see there are recent reported problems with it.

An alternative, also scriptable, is cpdf - Coherent PDF - which I'm now going to be testing as a replacement for PDFtk.

Hope this helps...

Hi

SOLVED!!!!THANKS

***

I've set a bat to lunch cpdf but something strange happens
In details...I have a pdf of about 50 pages
If I lunch the split command directly in windows prompt all works correctly and I obtain my news 50 pdf files..If I luch the same command form a file.bat it split only the first 9 pages and then is stops..
The command used is:
C:\Users\cpdf\cpdf-binaries-master\Windows\cpdf -split C:\Users\cpdf\testsplit.pdf -chunk 1 -o C:\Users\cpdf\out%%%.pdf

Thanks

The problem is that in a batch file %%% is interpreted as %. So out%%% becomes out%, which means that cpdf will only generate out1.pdf to out9.pdf. Change it to %%%%%%%

I usually split pdf files with online pdf editors. I think it is much more comfortable.
