Discussion

The pdf_split_pages() function splits a PDF file into multiple files. Each page in the PDF is saved as a separate PDF file with the suffix "_page" plus the page number appended to the filename. For example:

fn = "c:\files\invoice.pdf"

?pdf_split_pages(fn,"c:\files\invoice_paginated.pdf")
= .T.

?filefind.get("c:\files\invoice_pag*.pdf",0,"pn")
= c:\files\invoice_paginated_page1.pdf
c:\files\invoice_paginated_page10.pdf
c:\files\invoice_paginated_page11.pdf
c:\files\invoice_paginated_page12.pdf
c:\files\invoice_paginated_page13.pdf
c:\files\invoice_paginated_page14.pdf
c:\files\invoice_paginated_page15.pdf
c:\files\invoice_paginated_page16.pdf
c:\files\invoice_paginated_page17.pdf
c:\files\invoice_paginated_page18.pdf
c:\files\invoice_paginated_page19.pdf

The Source and Result file names must use backslashes (\) when defining the path. The operation may not succeed if forward (/) slashes are used. If you encounter issues, you can use the a5_is_path_valid() function to test your Source and Result file path to ensure they are valid. For example:

dim path as c 
path = file.filename_parse(filename,"dp")
? a5_is_valid_path(path)
