Re: PDF Splitter

Just a clarification: for option 2 (Python 3), you'd need to do:

pip3 install pypdf2

For option 4 (Python 2), you'd need to do:

pip2 install pypdf2 (pip will also work)


If we'd planned better, we could have had a much more understandable
option number to version number mapping:

option 2 -> Python 2
option 3 -> Python 3
option 4 -> Node 4

Sadly, we have instead:

option 2 -> Python 3
option 4 -> Python 2
option 5 -> Node 4

There is a pure-Python (no C, no C++, no compilation step) library
called PyPDF2 which can do this:

The name is unimaginative, but it works well in most cases, and should
run anywhere Python runs, including IBM i. For those with 5733OPS
Option 2 installed, you can get this package by doing

pip install pypdf2

at a QSH or QP2TERM command line. Then, within Python, do

import PyPDF2

and you are ready to start experimenting with its capabilities.
(Disclaimer: I have only confirmed that it installs correctly with pip
and that it imports correctly within Python; I have not actually USED
the package for anything myself.)
