General splitting options

Enable Fast Web View. Restructures the PDF file so that it can be served a page-at-a-time over the Web. This means when you put PDFs on a Web site, when users open them, the pages will load faster — the user will not have to wait till the whole document is downloaded to start viewing the contents.

Update Navigational Elements. This feature updates all of the bookmarks, links and named destinations so that they remain connected to the proper page. That is, if you split a document into a series of smaller documents, all the links will be converted to cross-document links.

GoTo links. GoTo links, which are links within the document, are adjusted to stay connected to the proper page, even if the pages end up in a different order in the final document. If pages are arrnaged such that the page linked from ends up in a different file than the page linked to, the GoTo link is changed into a GoToR link, which is a link that goes from one file to another. GoToR links and Launch actions, both of which reference an external file, that use a relative pathname will be adjusted to take into account the difference if the files created by splitting are in a different directory from the original file. If you split a file with named destinations, the named destinations will be inserted into the files and each adjusted to continue pointing to the correct page. Links that use named destinations within the original document will be changed from GoTo to GoToR links as neccessary if source and destination end up in different files. The links will still use named destinations. Bookmarks are copied into all files and are adjusted just as the links are.

Show Progress Report. Shows a description of the split process in the status bar. You may find that this will make the split process run slightly slower, but will give a description on the status of each stage of the splitting process. It's particularly useful when your doing large and complex splitting jobs.

Support identical form field. Inserts pages into the target files, page-at-a-time. Whilst this is much slower, it will ensure that PDF files that contain form fields with indentical names will still function correctly.

Update title using output filename. Uses the filename (without the .pdf extension) as the document information's title for all output files.

Bookmarks. After processing, the following options can be applied to bookmarks within the target files:

• Expand all.
• Collapse all.
• Expand all (Expands the bookmarks that link to pages within each split file).
• Do not change.

Destination folder and filename settings

The filename for the files resulting from the split is constructed by adding a changing suffix to a specified base filename.

The base filename can be specified in the Base filename edit box or derived from each file dynamically by selecting the "Use filename" checkbox.

The target filename additions are as follows:

• A number — a number that is incremented for each new file.
• A padded number starting at — an incrementing number padded with leading zeros. You can specify a starting point for the number or padded number options in the box labeled Number, following the target filename combo box.
• A letter — an incrementing letter (eg: A-Z, AA-ZZ, etc).
• Nothing — used in splitting by bookmarks or page marks where the base filename changes for each file.

The files are saved in the folder specified in the Destination Folder box or the source folder, if that option is selected.
