pdfsplit - A Mac OS X utility to split PDF into pages

=====================================================

Why?

----

I am surprised to see there is no simple, lightweight and fast

utility to split PDF in Mac OS X. There is a Python based [1]

inplemention utilizing the Python binding of Core Graphics,

but PyObjC is traditionally very slow. So here this a direct

C translation of this tool.

How?

----

Build it with Xcode installed then type 'make'. Though I haven't

tested myself, it should support systems above Mac OS X 10.4.

usage: pdfsplit input.pdf splitPageNum1 splitPageNum2 ...

  - input.pdf: the path to the input pdf file.

  - splitPageNum1, ...: each one is a positive integer; the numbers

    must not exceed the number of pages of the input file, and the

    entire sequence must be strictly increasing.

Example: pdfsplit input.pdf 3 5

This will split file input.pdf into 3 files (assuming input.pdf is 10

pages long):

  - input.1-3.pdf contains page 1-3;

  - input.4-5.pdf contains page 4-5;

  - input.6-10.pdf contains page 6-10.
