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 RJS Software Systems Inc. "Providing Your....iNFORMATION NOW!"

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). i5 at V5r3 jim franz
