PDFtk burst

Post by abonsey »

Hi All,
I use PDFtk for a lot of flows so I know it works within Switch fine.

I'm trying to burst a PDF to multiple single PDFs but I can't get it to work. If I use the standard burst command I just get the last page:
"%1" burst output "%2"
File at Path


I tried adding _page_%04d but it just errors.

How can I get all the pages burst and not just the last one?

TIA
Andrew

Why not use Switch's own built in Split PDF tool?

The PDF files are made using PDFsharp.
Some work and some don't.... I just don't get any split pages ie all or nothing. SO I'm trying PDFtk to see if that will work with these files from the client.

They view and print fine. Just can't split them that's why I want to know how to do it with the burst command.

Have you got it to work with PDFtk?
