Splitting Methods
3. Splitting Methods
ARTS PDF Split Pro™ can split PDFs into smaller PDF files (or fragments) using a number of different methods. ARTS PDF Split Pro™ can split PDFs by bookmarks, by control file2 , by file size, into single pages and by coordinate file. These splitting methods are explained in detail below.
3.1. Split by Bookmarks
This method will split a PDF file by its bookmarks. Each page that is bookmarked will be the start of a new fragment, and the title of the bookmark will be used as the name of the file.
All subsequent pages are added to that fragment, stopping at the next bookmarked page. You will be given a chance to choose the level of bookmarks to use. Top-level bookmarks are level 1.
You can Split By Bookmarks using either of the following ARTS PDF Split Pro™ components:
•GUI
•CLI
•COM
3.2.Split by Control File
This method will split a PDF file as specified in a pre-defined control file. A control file is a text file that specifies which pages will be split from the document, and the names of each PDF file that will be split from the document.
An example of this is:
12 introduction.pdf
23-29 chapter3.pdf
80 conclusion.pdf
Using the above control file page 12 will be split and named introduction.pdf, pages 23 to 29 will be split and named chapter3.pdf and page 80 will be named conclusion.pdf. An error will occur if the page number specified is out of range. To avoid such errors, put ARTS PDF Split Pro™ in silent mode.
2 With control files you also have the option to specify full pathnames.

ARTS PDF Split Pro™ Guide
Splitting Methods
You can Split By Control File (not full path) using either of the following ARTS PDF Split Pro™ components:
•GUI
•CLI
•COM
3.3.Split by Control File - Full Path
This method of splitting will split a PDF file as specified in a control file, with each output file (or fragment) being stored in the directory indicated by the full path in the control file. A control file with the full path is a text file that specifies which pages will be split from the document, and the storage location and name of the pdf file that will be split from the document.
An example of this is:
23,25,55 c:\splitpdf_files\project\introduction.pdf
23-30 c:\splitpdf_files\project\sports.pdf
81 c:\splitpdf_files\media\movies.pdf
Using the above example page 23, 25 and 55 will be split and named introduction.pdf and saved to “c:\splitpdf_files\project\”. Pages 23 to 30 will be split and named sports.pdf in the “c:\splitpdf_files\project\” directory whilst page 81 will be named conclusion.pdf and saved to the “c:\splitpdf_files\media” directory.
You can Split By Control File (full path) using either of the following ARTS PDF Split Pro™ components:
•GUI
•COM
3.4.Split by File Size
This method of splitting allows PDFs to be split based on a file size value (in kilobytes) specified by the user.
The way this works is that split pro will scan through your pdf document/s one page at a time, and check at the end of each page to see if the current fragment is equal to or greater than the specified file size.
| CONTENTS | |
Page 10 of 58 |
ARTS PDF Split Pro™ Guide
Splitting Methods
If the fragment size is equal to or greater than the file size specified then at that point the PDF will be split. Otherwise ARTS PDF Split Pro™ will move onto the next page and perform the same check again.
You can Split By File Size using either of the following ARTS PDF Split Pro™ components:
•GUI
•COM
3.5.Split into Single Pages
This method of splitting will split a PDF file into fragments containing one page each in the destination folder specified by the user.
You can Split Into Single Pages using either of the following ARTS PDF Split Pro™ components:
•GUI
•CLI
3.6.Split by Coordinate File
This method of splitting will split a pdf file based on the text that is on each page. Coordinate files are used to perform intelligent splitting of PDF files based on page content. Coordinate files can be created using ARTS PDF Split Pro™ Assistant.
See ARTS PDF Split Pro™ Assistant for more detail.
You can Split By Coordinate using either of the following ARTS PDF Split Pro™ components:
•GUI
•CLI
•COM

Watched Folders
4. Watched Folders
The watched folders function in ARTS PDF Split Pro™ GUI and CLI allows an automated splitting solution to be set-up and accessible from the desktop or across a network. By selecting to use Watched Folders, then specifying the folders where the files are stored during the splitting process; PDF/s can be dropped in the specified input folder, split (either into single pages, by coordinate file or control file) and moved to the specified output folder.
Making the input and output directories accessible across a network results in having a high-speed splitting solution available across a network.
The GUI Watched Folder feature allows you to perform the following splitting methods using watched folders:
•split into single pages
•split by control file
•split by control file full path
•split by coordinate file
The CLI Watched Folder feature allows you to perform following splitting methods using watched folders:

5.1. What is a Coordinate File?
A coordinate file must be used when performing a ‘Split By Coordinate File’ split method. Coordinate files use a .crd file extension but they are plain text files that can be viewed or edited with any text editor. The contents of a coordinate file may contain a single line or multiple lines of commands. An example of a coordinate file is shown below:
splitontextchange 507.406555 56.816055 535.184265 24.408707 addtofilename 507.406555 56.816055 535.184265 24.408707 "pageno " providefilename 504.628784 67.001236 543.517578 21.630936
5.1.1.Inside a Coordinate File
A single line within a coordinate file starts with a rectangle command, followed by rectangle coordinates and a string parameter. The structure of a line within a coordinate file is as shown below:
rectangle command [space] left rectangle coordinate [space] top rectangle coordinate [space] bottom rectangle coordinate [space] right rectangle coordinate [space] “string“
An example of this is:
splitiftextcontainedinbox 70.093918 736.859451 141.122421 703.214371 "arts"
Where:
Rectangle Command = splitiftextcontainedinbox
Left coordinate = 70.093918
Top coordinate = 736.859451
Bottom coordinate = 141.122421
Right coordinate = 703.214371
String parameter = arts
Rectangle command
Each command line within the coordinate file has a rectangle command related to it, which indicates what is required when splitting a PDF file. Rectangle commands give the option to:
•split a PDF file if the page contains specific text.
•provide output filenames.
•exclude or include pages from output files.
•read text on a PDF file and export it to a text file.
A full list of available Rectangle Commands can be found in Appendix A of this document.

ARTS PDF Split Pro™ Guide
Assistant
Rectangle coordinates
Rectangle coordinates (left, top, bottom and right) are used to view the rectangle using ARTS PDF Split Pro™ Assistant. The rectangle is used to look at text on a PDF page for the splitting of PDFs. Text within a rectangle area can be compared against the specified string parameter passed.
Example:
splitiftextcontainedinbox 70.093918 736.859451 141.122421 703.214371 "arts"
The coordinates, 70.093918 736.859451 141.122421 703.214371, form a rectangle. The rectangle area is viewable on a PDF page using ARTS PDF Split Pro™ Assistant. A rectangle can be viewed on each page of the PDF document. Depending on where the text run begins on the page, this rectangle may have text inside it. Using the splitIfTextContainedInBox command, if ARTS PDF Split Pro™ finds that the “arts” string is found inside the rectangle area then the PDF will split at that page i.e. PDF will split if the word “arts” is found within the text inside the rectangle.
String parameter
When creating coordinate files, particular rectangle commands may require a user specified text string to be entered in order to split PDFs the way the particular command is expected to. There is a text box in the rectangle tool properties window named ‘Parameters for command’ where these text strings can be entered.
An example for a parameter is when utilizing the ‘split if text contained in box’ command when creating a coordinate file. This command checks if the parameter specified by the user within the parameter text box is present within the related ARTS PDF Split Pro™ rectangle in the PDF file. If this string is present, then the file is split.
Commands that do not require a specified text string are:
•SplitOnTextChange
•SkipHeader
•provideFilename
•provideFilenameFromFirstWord
•addToFilenameTextInBox
•excludeIfNoTextContainedInBox
•extractText
Note: Version 2 users will find that coordinate files created by ARTS PDF Split Pro™
Assistant have numeric values instead of a text string as the last parameter. This is to support Unicode. Version 2 is backwards compatible and can still support string parameters if coordinate files have been created or edited manually.
