MHB Splitting a 352MB Calculus Textbook into Chapters

AI Thread 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.
 
Re: spliting pdf

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..

I did find a splitter to do very large PDF but have to down load the trial version A-PDF Split
but took forever but it cut in 2I do the homework with overleaf so c/p a lot from the pdfs
 

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
