10.1.18 PDF Splitter Action Task Properties
PDF Splitter action tasks are used to split emulated PDF data files into multiple data files that are passed to
subsequent tasks in the process.
PDF Splitter action task properties are as follows:
General Tab
Split on page group: Select to split the data file based on pages (rather than on a word found within the PDF
data) and to activate the option from this group, which is used to tailor exactly how you want the page based
splitting process to take place.

splitting process to take place.
Page(s) per output: Enter the number of pages to include in the file generated by the splitter in this edit
box below or use the spin buttons.
Split PDF file on a word group : Select to split the data file whenever a given region is found within the PDF
data file (rather than on based on pages), or whenever the regoin found at a given location changes, and to
activate the options from this group, which are used to tailor exactly how you want the region based splitting
process to take place.
On region content change: Select if you want the data file to be split when the word found at a given
location changes.
Get: Click to go to the Data Selector and select the location associated with the On region change option.
Specific word: Enter the word to use as the splitting criteria. In this variable property box, you may enter
static characters, variables, job information elements or any combination of these. You may also use the Get
Data button to get a static string of characters from the sample data file. If you use this option, the
coordinates of the data you will select will be added to the Left, Right, Top and Bottom boxes below.
Left: Enter a value corresponding to the left coordinate on which the splitter must start searching for the
region.
Right: Enter a value corresponding to the right coordinate on which the splitter must start searching for the
region.
Top: Enter a value corresponding to the top coordinate on which the splitter must start searching for the
region.
Bottom: Enter a value corresponding to the bottom coordinate on which the splitter must start searching for
the region.
Match case: Select to force the splitter to match the character casing. Note that this setting applies both to
the On region change and Specific word options. If this option is selected, “DAY” and “Day” will not be
considered as matching the search string “day”.
Trim selection: Select to force the splitter to strip empty trailing characters. When this option is not selected,
blank trailing characters, if any, are considered in the matching process, so the word “DAY” will not be
considered as matching the word “DAY”. Note that this setting applies only to the On region change option.
