Splitting a PDF
PDF Filer has an option to split files. It processes them one at a time by extracting pages, allowing the user to add the extracted pages and then repeating the cycle.
To add an existing PDF open the PDF to be added and then open the record in the database related to the document to be added. If the clipboard method is being used copy the unique value to the clipboard.
Click on "Split PDF".
Confirm that it is the correct PDF to be added and click on "Yes". If it is not close other open PDF files and run the program again. (Please note the open PDF must be on the local PC).
Enter the pages to be extracted and added.
To extract a single page:
Enter the page number "2"
To extract multiple pages:
Enter the page numbers separated by spaces "2 5" would extract pages two and five
To extract a range of pages:
Place a dash between the low and high numbers "2-8" would extract all pages from two to eight.
The word end can be used for the end of the file:
6 9 11-end would extract pages six, nine and all pages from 11 to the end of the file.
Any combination of the extraction methods can be used together.
Show in the example above is extracting page 2 to be added.
Click on "Split File"
A temp file is created that can be added to PDF Filer. Click on "OK".
Click on "Yes" to add the file "No to Exit", if yes is clicked on the Job Selection menu will appear. Once the file has been added the user will be asked to split more pages from the file.
