Split a pdf file into multiple pdf docs

Hi,

 

Now suppose, you need to split a huge pdf file into multiple pdf docs.

 

Here is how you can acheive this using ddx.

===============================

 

<cfset sourcefile1 = ExpandPath('test.pdf')>

 

<cfset inputStruct=StructNew()>
<cfset inputStruct.Doc1="#sourcefile1#">

 

<cfpdf action="getinfo" source="#sourcefile1#" name="fullPdf">
<cfoutput>TotalPages is #fullPdf.TotalPages#</cfoutput><br>

 

<cfset totalpages = "#fullPdf.TotalPages#">

 

<cfset outputStruct=StructNew()>

 

<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#totalpages#">
 <cfset fileStr = 'test_part' & '#i#' & '.pdf'>
 <cfset "destinationfile#i#" = ExpandPath('#fileStr#')>
 <cfset "outputStruct.OUT#i#" = "#Evaluate('destinationfile#i#')#">
</cfloop>

 

<cfset ddx_part1 = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/ coldfusion_ddx.xsd">'> 

 

<cfset ddx_part2 = "">

 

<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#totalpages#"> 
  <cfset ddx_part2 = ddx_part2 & '<PDF result="Out#i#"><PDF source="Doc1" pages="#i#"/></PDF>'>
</cfloop>

 

<cfset ddx_part3 = '</DDX>'>

 

<cfset myVar = ddx_part1 & ddx_part2 & ddx_part3>

 

<cfpdf action="processddx" ddxfile="#myVar#" inputfiles="#inputStruct#" outputfiles="#outputStruct#" name="ddxVar">

 

<cfoutput>#ddxVar.Out1#</cfoutput>
