Split PDF

Malanowski204

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is possible with Pythonista, or at all.

Say I had a 50 page PDF that I wanted to turn into 50, 1 page PDF's. Then say I wanted to toss those files in a specific Dropbox folder. Is that something that Pythonista could handle?

This should be quite doable. I don't know much about the PDF format myself but there are tons of tutorials on the topic all across the Internet. You could a search http://www.google.com/search?q=split+pdf+python and look for Pure Python solutions like PyPDF2 https://github.com/mstamy2/PyPDF2 or smpdf https://code.google.com/p/smpdf

There are apps that do this. Their main use is to annotate PDFs, so include that word in your search.

@peterh:
I'm aware of several apps that can split off one page of the PDF, but not split a many page PDF info many single page pdf's. That's why I figured Pythonista might be a good fit.

@ccc:

I am going to check those out.

Thank you both for your replies.

I used Softaken Split PDF Software It runs on all Windows versions without any problem. I have separated several pages from a PDF of 250 pages in few minutes using this software.
