Quickly split PDF pages into separate PDF files, or go the other way and combine multiple PDF files into multiple pages of a single PDF file.

Prerequisites

You will need the Java runtime installed to be able to execute this program.

How to run

• Head to the Releases section of this repository and download the latest-versioned jar file.
• Execute the jar by running the following in your terminal:

java -jar <path/to/PDFSplicer-version.jar>

Usage

Splitting apart PDF pages

• Click the Select File to Split Apart button, select your file
• If you have a standard 1-page-per-PDF-page document, then click the Split File button.
• If you have a booklet PDF, where each PDF has two pages separated by a vertical line in the center, click the Split Booklet File button.
• For both buttons, the program will create a new folder in the same location as the file with the file's same name, and the separate pages will be saved to this new folder.

Joining PDF files together

• Click the Add Files to Join button and select which files you would like to join together.
  • Be sure they appear in the file-preview list in the order in which you would like them to be joined together. If you make a mistake, a Remove Selected Files button is provided to facilitate reordering.
• Click on the Name of New File button, then type in the name of your new file in the file dialog.
• When satisfied, click the Join Files button. The new file will be saved in the location you specified in the Name of New File dialog.

Extracting a partial PDF

• Click the Select File to Extract From button, select your file
• The program automatically populates the maximum page range in the text boxes below. Select what page range you would like to extract into a separate PDF file.
• Click the Extract Partial PDF button. The program will create a new PDF in the same location with the same name + the page range appended to the file name.
