Hi Tejas
There is a very good VBO SRI utility PDf present on Dx. I think that would be helpful for you to achieve your goal

Hi Harshit,

Thank you so much for sharing it directly. It is working really good. However this utility is not available on DX, i tried with all kind of possible searches. There is a PDF utility available but limited to only 2 functionality namely Split and Merge PDF. So i was looking for something powerful. Thanks again this Utility is surely a great one for PDF.

Regards.

Hello @Tejaskumar_Darji,

The developer of the original VBO removed it from the DX due to some questions regarding their licensing model vs that of the underlying 3rd party iTextSharp DLL they were using.

FWIW, the iTextSharp library has been deprecated by its developer (iText), but there is a newer version available called iText7. You could create your own VBO using that library. Just be aware that they dual license under an open source/commercial model, so depending on how you use that library you may have to purchase a license for it.

Cheers,

Thanks @ewilson for the clarification. It's the first case i have come across when a VBO was removed from Dx.

I have found that the OSTtoPSTAPP PDF Split Tool is the most useful tool for dividing PDF files. You can split PDF files with this utility. The Split PDF Tool allows you to split a PDF file into multiple files while maintaining the original contents and layout of the file. When used alone, the PDF Split program is simple to use. Splitting PDFs does not require the installation of Adobe Reader. This tool is available for both personal and business usage. This program works with all Windows versions, including Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, and all earlier versions.

Hi Tejas,

You can also execute a Python script using Utility - Environment - 10.1.1 VBO to split a given PDF. I've implemented it one of the automation and it worked wonder specially when one large PDF needs to be spilt into multiple PDFs.

Well, I wish I had not seen this...

We tried for weeks to [unsuccessfully] get an iText7 VBO to work (strictly trying to convert it from Win7, where it was functional, to Win10, where it was not). By way of comparison, I had the PDF Manager VBO up and running in less than hour.

<<sigh>>
