PDF Splitter - Extract Pages into New PDF with Designated Names - UPDATE


Just a brief note tonight about how to write the script for PDF Splitter discussed in the Tip of the Night for January 28, 2018. For some reason when the names for the files are designated to begin with a number instead of a letter, PDF Splitter truncates the names at the beginning by one digit. Be sure to add a letter prefix to the names of extracted PDF files that you create using this software. So for example instead of a line of script like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\PDF Splitter\PDFSplitter.exe" "C:\O'Shea Documents\Litigation Support\PDF Splitter\2016_Judges_Survey.pdf" "C:\O'Shea Documents\Litigation Support\PDF Splitter\process\" -p "1-8" -cp 8 -t "888172001"

. . . write the script like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\PDF Splitter\PDFSplitter.exe" "C:\O'Shea Documents\Litigation Support\PDF Splitter\2016_Judges_Survey.pdf" "C:\O'Shea Documents\Litigation Support\PDF Splitter\process\" -p "1-8" -cp 8 -t "x888172001"

PDF Splitter should create a file which includes the x in front and the full sequence of digits. Naturally you can remove the x after the script has been run using Bulk Rename Utility.
