How to split a pdf by a maxium size limit

Hello everyone.

Our connect solution creates pdf and places them in a folder. We then need to check the size of each pdf before emailing them. If the pdf is larger than 8mb, we need to split it by maximum size of 8 mb and send the split pdf separately.
we have thousands of pdf to process and performance is also critical.
Is splitting a pdf by a maximum size possible in connect or workflow?

Thank you.
Ingrid.

I wrote a script to do this before which you could amend to ‘chunk’ on 8MB.

Check out this post here.

Alternatively, if you don’t need to be specific about the 8MB and you know on average how many output PDF pages is circa 8MB you could use Separation in the Output Preset. That presupposes that you’re using Connect to output the PDFs of course.
