Hello Jim, 

There are currently no commercial or FREE native iSeries products that I 
know of for splitting PDF files. 

If you decide to look at a commercial Windows based process, our PDF 
Splitter can be run on a Windows server to accomplish what you need to do. 


You can set up to 10 zones in the PDF file that we look for to split on. 

If you're interested in having it written natively, we can do that as 
well. We would take the code we've written for the Windows side and port 
to the iSeries. 

Please contact me directly for more discussion on your requirements. 

Regards,
Richard Schoen

subject: read and split a pdf file on i5

(this is a better definition than what I wrote in previous posts).
I am assuming others are receiving pdf files that need to be processed.

Receiving a 1,000 page pdf file containing text and images. Each page 
relates
to an invoice. The index contains a unique code for each page that I need 
to extract.
Each page needs to be split into a separate pdf file, with file name 
related to that unique code.
Each file is password protected (and is labelled "customer key for 
decrypting").
Inside file, is labelled PDF-1.4 (although I prob need to support later 
versions)
Would like to split this file and move individual pdf files to their 
proper directory in a 
batch process to execute when file downloaded via ftp. 
I have not found any rpgle code (yet) to do this split, although if I knew 
what to look for, it 
would seem Scott Klement's sample programs would possibly work.
I have found java tools on Source-Forge that may work, but not familiar 
with java. 
Found some unix tools, but could not process encrypted file.
Many interactive windows products, but hoping not to go there (although 
this may become
an interactive process once a week to split this file).
