Split a PDF
Sometime you upload a big PDF and you need to split it in different segment, you can do this using a set of policies.
To split a file, select it, then right click and in the context menu choose More > Split.
Here you can choose among this list of splitting policies:
| Policy | Description |
|---|---|
| all pages | each page of the original file will be saved in a new PDF |
| selection of pages | you specify a selection of pages separated by comma. In the Expression field you specify the page ranges. E.g. 1,2-5 generates a new PDF with containing just the first page and another PDF containing pages 2,3,4 and 5 |
| blank page as separator | the blank pages are interpreted as separators and each segment will be saved in a new PDF |
| barcode as separator | the pages containing a barcode are interpreted as separators and each segment will be saved in a new PDF. In the Expression field you can define a regular expression to be matched by the barcode. E.g. SEPARATOR means that the barcode's value must have the value 'SEPARATOR' |
| text as separator | the pages containing a given text are interpreted as separators and each segment will be saved in a new PDF. In the Expression field you must define the text to use as separator |
Click on Split to start the process. The original file is not altered and the segments are stored as additional documents in the current folder. You need the Write permission in the current folder to use this feature.
