split large PDF file

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   hi everyone,

I am working with Delphi and wish to quickly split a PDF file into several other files.

I have a PDF source file containing a minimum of 5000 pages and a table describing how to group the documents.
Ths table contains the informations :
- Document name (string)
- First page of the document, from the begining ( Integer)
- Number of pages ( Integer)

The number of pages per document varies from 1 to 12.

What I want to output is 12 files each containing all the documents with the same number of pages :
-> one file with all the "one page"
-> one file with all the "two pages"
-> one file with all the "three page"
etc...
-> and one file with all the "twelve pages".

How to proceed with QuickPDF to get prompt treatment and which methods to use ?

Thank you

	@DrCizor First what You need is to use http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/ExtractFilePages.php or http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/ExtractFilePagesEx.php ps. I'am using AutoIt (this is similar to VBScript) and here you have some concept how to split file in separate page Func _QPDF_FileSplitEachPage($sPDF_FileFullPath, $sPDF_Password = '', $sDestinationDir = Default, $iNumberOfDigits = 3) If $sDestinationDir = Default Then $sDestinationDir = @ScriptDir & '\Extracted' Local $oQP If _QPDF_CreateObjectAndUnlock($oQP) = 1 Then $oQP.LoadFromFile($sPDF_FileFullPath, $sPDF_Password) ; _QPDF_LastErrorCode($oQP) Local $iTotalPages = _QPDF_FileGetPageCount($sPDF_FileFullPath, '') Local $sPDF_Destination = '' If Not FileExists($sDestinationDir) Then DirCreate($sDestinationDir) Local $aPageFileList[$iTotalPages + 1] $aPageFileList[0] = $iTotalPages For $n = 1 To $iTotalPages $sPDF_Destination = $sDestinationDir & '\' & StringRegExp($sPDF_FileFullPath, '(?i).\\(.?)\.pdf', 3)[0] & '_p' & __QPDF_AddLeadingZeros(String($n), $iNumberOfDigits) & ".pdf" $aPageFileList[$n] = $sPDF_Destination $oQP.ExtractFilePages($sPDF_FileFullPath, '', $sPDF_Destination, $n) Next Return SetError(0, 0, $aPageFileList) Else Return SetError($__eQPDF_ERROR_DEBENULICENCE, 0, 0) EndIf EndFunc ;==>_QPDF_FileSplitEachPage Then you can use your TABLE and use http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/AddToFileList.php http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/FileListCount.php http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/ClearFileList.php and finally http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/MergeFileList.php http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/MergeFileListFast.php or http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/MergeFiles.php Regards, mLipok

	Do it mean my coding style is transparent and clear (at least for you) ?
