- Split PDF files in a number of ways:
- After every page, even pages or odd pages
- After a given set of page numbers
- Every n pages
- By bookmark level
- By size, where the generated files will roughly have the specified size
- Rotate PDF files where multiple files can be rotated, either every page or a selected set of pages
- Extract pages from multiple PDF files
- Mix PDF files where a number of PDF files are merged, taking pages alternately from them
- Save and restore of the workspace
Architecture
