 |
|
Anyone knows how to extract part of PDF?
I tried pdfseparate, it created 50 files (correct, that's what I wanted) from 10.9 MB input file, each output file is 10.8 MB. Of course, then pdfunite creates a huge file from these. Is there a sane way to do it keeping the file size normal?

I do assembling of pdf:s all week at work, but how to split, I would suggest looking in to ghostscript. It can read page for page if executed right. At least when it comes to screenshot of a page.
Btw, ImageMagick is great to normalize sizes of pdf:s.
Here is a gateway to ImageMagick : http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/index.php
Howto resize with ghostscript (untried by me)
| Code: |
gs \
-o output.pdf \
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
-sPAPERSIZE=a4 \
-dFIXEDMEDIA \
-dPDFFitPage \
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 \
input.pdf

I think many pdf viewers can do some minor editing.
I know mupdf ships with mutool, though I'm not quite sure what kind of stuff you can do with it. |
