IS there any way to cut upa very large pdf file into manageable chunks?

I have a pdf version of a GL1800 manual, but it's a single file,
69,032KB in size, totalling 757 pages.

Is there any way to split it up by, say, chapter?

That would leave 27 much more friendly bits, which a chap could then
email into work for handy printing.

 

Can certainly do it on a Mac, slightly surprised if Linux doesn't have
something similar.

I'd print to pdf, using the pages numbers, IYSWIM

I'm guessing there are restrictions on plugging in flash drives at your
workplace.

Adobe Acrobat does what you want, but it isn't free. Doubtless there are
some free software solutions for Windows that can do what you want as well,
but I don't know what they are.

On my Linux boxes I can view a PDF in any number of viewers, and print page
ranges to a file, which can quite handily be a PDF file, so it would be
trivial to do what you want. I don't have the means to do that on my
Windows PCs though.

 

Yes. Print it all out, choose the chapters/pages that interest you and
then scan them back in. Convert the scan to a PDF and email it. Job
done.

 

CutePDF is a free, virtual PDF printer for Windows.

Doesn't this depend on the rights/security? I think sometimes one can only
"save to text".

 

Don't *think* I've ever seen that, but ICBW.

Coo, is that still kicking around? Well recommended.

Some of Yamaha's owners manuals available from their website are 'locked' to
prevent printing. It's quite trivial to defeat it, as there are a number of
free online PDF unlocker sites (obviously subject to trust issues if there is
anything sensitive in the file) and downloadable apps are also available to
do the same (potentially even more trust issues w/ Trojan Horses).

 

Far be it for me to try & save the planet, but why do you need to
print it? I've got several PDF manuals, & when I need to fettle, I
either take the laptop into the garage, or just print the few pages
I'll need if it's a big job.

 

Cor. Cheers, Simon. Just what I was after.

 

General shortage of laptops, not wanting to use Canon ink when there's
"free" Canon toner available.

 

Do it with full Acrobat. Simple hit the 'edit PDF' button, and copy
chunks into a new document.

 

I've got several manuals as .pdf also, but I can never find the dang
things when I want them. The paper versions otoh I usually can find.
Strange really, 'cos it's the complete opposite for things like music
and videos.

If I'm doing a big job, I'm usually reading a book, or whatever magazine
is to hand.

 

Oh yes? I didn't know that. Wouldn't it only work if the file isn't
protected though?

 

I never thought of doing it that way. I've used Primo PDF, also free,
for several years.

 

Can't you just take a USB key to work?

 

Yes, that's right.

 

Just seen that this problem has been solved, however a colleague used a
licensed Adobe product to chop the Tiger manual into bits so I could
magic it onto my Kindle

 

Probably a hanging offence.
