I post to forums which have a 1000K limit on PDF files so I have to break
larger files into smaller sequentially numbered files.

Do you know of any freeware that will do that AUTOMATICALLY (based on a
file size provided)?

I already have Adobe Acrobat 6 which MANUALLY (auuurgh) deletes pages of
PDF files and then has a manual shrink button to shrink the result down but
it soooooo non linear that you can never guess.

For example, a 4MB 400 page file might break into 100 pages for the first
1000K, and 15 pages for the second 1000K, and 1000 pages for the 3rd 1000K,
etc.

It's such a pain to do manually.

Do you know of any software that can automatically break a PDF into 1000K
sequential documents?

You're a genius!

I really wasn't expecting any good answer (I was hoping, but wasn't
expecting anyone to help me).

If this works, it's WONDERFUL. I have Adobe Acrobat which won't even do
this!

I'll try it out and let you know!

Thanks!

Is that software impossible to download or what! :)
I'm still trying but it's very difficult.
I've turned off noscripts, I've turned off my hosts file, I've turned off
my adblockers, but, still it won't download.

Not easy to download; but I'll keep trying!

Let's see if it works first! :)

I use it to shrink pdfs, add, merge, and delete pages and to edit forms and
to create PDFs out of other things and to create clickable PDFs out of web
homes (it can go any number of levels deep).

That's about all I need Adobe Acrobat Professional for:
- shrink PDFs (dunno if any freeware can do this)
- add pages (maybe this pdfsam can do that for us)
- delete pages (maybe pdfsam freeware can do that too)
- merge pages (maybe pdfsam freeware can do this)
- edit forms (dunno what else can edit the PDF itself in situ)
- edit properties (like security and ownership information)
- create pdfs (certainly cutePDF freeware can do this)
- create linked PDFs out of web pages (dunno anything else that can do
this)

So, assuming pdfsam can add, delete, and merge PDF pages, then the only
thing that Adobe Acrobat Professional does for me that freeware won't is:
- shrink PDFs
- edit PDF text in situ
- edit PDF properties
- create linked PDFs out of web hierarchies

Getting to that page (or to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/) was
the easy part! :)

You'd be AMAZED at how much advertisement goes on once you try to download
the Windows zip or exe file at that page!

After turning off everything I could think of, I finally was able to
download the exe file (but was never able to download the zip file) due to
the horrendous amount of doubleclick.net type referrals and pop-up
advertisements at that specific web page!

sourceforge.net -> ad.doubleclick.net -> zillions of other unrelated web
sites which flashed by so fast I couldn't write them down...
