I see you've already come up with a solution....

People might want to check out PDFpen from smileonmymac. It's very Applescriptable and comes with an Applescript to split PDFs - all for $49.95

Hopefully someone out there has had this problem...

I've written a script that takes a large pdf (multi-page + graphics) and
splits it into as many files as there are pages. My problem is that all the
pages retain the same original file size (large as the file contains pages
with graphics) despite some of them only being text.
- The Reduce File Size… command in Acrobat achieves this but I don't think
it's scriptable - even though the menu item command?
- PDF Shrink is a utility but it doesn't support Applescript - even though
you can open a file in it, you can't process it
- any ideas?


I'm using Acrobat 6 and Tiger

Thanks
