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 file

 , by file size, 

into single pages and by coordinate file.  These splitting methods are explained in detail below. 
 

 

  

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: 

• 

• 

• 

 

 

 

  
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.

 With control files you also have the option to specify full pathnames.
