Input Parameters
Required Parameters
File Content:

The naming template for the output file name. Any occurrence of variables in the list below will be replaced by the appropriate value at runtime.
- %FILENAME or %F%:The original file name without the .pdf extension.
- %UNIQUE or %U%:A unique identifier based on the start page number of the split file.
- %UNIQUE2, …, %UNIQUEn:A unique identifier based on the start page number of the split file. This identifier is restricted to ‘n’ significant figures (up to n = 6), and will add leading 0’s if needed.

File Name:

Split Type:
Data Type = string
The split operation to be carried out on each file
- Split into single pages – gives a single page output for every page
- Split by page range – splits the document at the given page range
- Split by repeating range – splits the document at the given page range, repeating this split at each increment of ‘repeat Every’
- Split by top level bookmarks – splits at each top level bookmark found in the document
Optional Parameters
Page Range:
Data Type = string
Set of page ranges separated by commas that define which pages from the original should be extracted. The following types of page ranges are allowed:
- 1 – Specifies a single page
- 1-10 – Specifies a range of pages
- 1-lastpage – Specifies a range of pages, between 1 and the last page of the document
- 1-10odd – Specifies a range of pages, but only odd numbered pages will appear in the output
- 1-10even – Specifies a range of pages, but only even numbered pages will appear in the output
Repeat Every (Pages):
Data Type = int
Apply the Page Range to each set of page ranges within the document. For example, if 2-4 is specified for page ranges, and 4 is specified as the repeating range (Repeat Every), then the range is re-applied every 4 pages. Hence the file is split such that the first output file contains pages 2-4 from the original document; the second contains pages 6-8 and so on. Only work with a page range (1-3) and not single pages (1) or sets of ranges (1-3, 1).
Retain Bookmarks:
Data Type = boolean
Generated files will include bookmarks from the original file.
Retain Metadata:
Data Type = boolean
Generated files will include metadata (such as Author and Title) from the original file.
