I'm new to AppleScript, so please be gentle with me ;-)
My problem is:
I have a number of PDFs which have multiple pages (many thousands). I
want
to be able to write a script that will split each PDF into 1000s of
individual PDF files, where each PDF file is one unique page of the
original, in the order that they were in the original file.
If the original document was named 'FooBar.PDF' each PDF would be named
FooBar0001.PDF, FooBar00002.PDF etc.
Acrobat has an Extract Page command but this does not appear in its
AppleScript Dictionary. Any suggestions? Any canned solutions out there
(commercial or shareware)?
Well, there is probably a better way, but I do see "replace pages" in
the dictionary, so you could start with a single placeholder page and
replace it with each page from the large pdf saving it under a new name
each time.
