Splitting PDF files

Post date: 05-Dec-2008 16:03:40

As I said before, I'm not an expert using Linux, but I just learn hot to split a PDF file into parts (in a hard way... perhaps). In order to split your PDF files the package pdftk is needed.

If your file named input.pdf has (let's say) 250 pages, and you want to split it into 3 parts of 100, 100 and 50 page respectively, do the following

[> pdftk input.pdf cat 1-100 ouptput output1.pdf

[> pdftk input.pdf cat 101-200 ouptput output2.pdf

[> pdftk input.pdf cat 201-end ouptput output3.pdf

It worked 4 me, Enjoy... of course if I learn something else this post will be editted.
