MHB Splitting a 352MB Calculus Textbook into Chapters

Click For Summary
A user is trying to split a 352MB calculus textbook into chapters, which totals 1050 pages, but is facing challenges with online splitters due to file size limits. They attempted to use Acrobat Reader on a university PC but found that the necessary tools were unavailable. Suggestions include using the paid version of Acrobat DC, although the user noted that their institution lacks the required tools. They discovered a trial version of A-PDF Split that can handle large PDFs, but it was slow and only partially successful. The discussion highlights the limitations of available software for splitting large PDF files in a university setting.

Re: spliting pdf

See here.

As you said, you may need the paid version of Acrobat. I believe Acrobat DC is the latest version, but your institution may have otherwise. The procedure may also vary depending on the operating system.

yes the splite pages tool is not there at UHWO
 
Re: spliting pdf

Mm.. Most of the online options have 100mb limits. Are you using Mac OS or Windows?

I'm surprised the tool is not available at your institution..
