Splitting Methods 
 
 
You can Split By Control File (not full path) using either of the following ARTS PDF Split 
Pro™ components: 
• 
• 
• 
 
 
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:

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.
