this box. Enter 1, for example, to split the file at the beginning of the line that

option if you want to split the file a given number of lines before the search word.

Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
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 page67).
Processing
The file is separated into multiple chunks according to the rules set in the task's properties.
