PDF Splitter
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.
When using a PlanetPress Design document, the PDF Splitter will do the job quicker than the
Metadata Sequencer task that can also be used to split PDFs. However, when using a PDF as
input, the Metadata Sequencer might perform better. For more information and some test
results, see this How-to: Performance testing grounds.
In the case of Connect Print output, using Print Presets to separate the output is preferable to
using the PDF Splitter. How to separate Print output in Connect is explained in the Connect
Online Help: How to split print output into multiple files.
Input
A PDF data file (see "PDF emulation" on page61).
Processing
The file is separated into multiple chunks according to the rules set in the task's properties.
Output
Multiple data files, sent one after the other to the rest of the tasks in the process. Metadata, job
infos and user variables are not modified by this task.
Note
The Metadata is not reset at the time the next data file is sent to the rest of the process. See also:
Output issues caused by Metadata, and how to avoid them.
