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 c:\files\invoice_paginated_page2.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page20.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page21.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page22.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page23.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page24.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page25.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page26.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page27.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page28.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page29.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page3.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page30.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page31.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page4.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page5.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page6.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page7.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page8.pdf c:\files\invoice_paginated_page9.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)
