I have a large number of PDF files which have two slides to a page (for printing).
The format is A4 pages each with two slides setup like so:
----------- | slide 1 | ----------- | slide 2 | ----------- How can I generate a new PDF file with one slide per page?
Happy to use GUI, CLI, scripts or even interface with a language's PDF library; but I do need the text on the slides to still be selectable.

If the pdf is out on the internet, simply go to the right place. If the pdf is on your computer, open an explorer window and navigate to the folder that the pdf is in. Drag and drop the document onto the Chrome window.
PDF Scissors allowed me to bulk split (crop) all pages in a PDF.

mutool works brillantly for this. The example below will chop each page of input.pdf into 3 horizontal and 8 vertical parts (thus creating 24 pages of output for each 1 of input):
mutool poster -x 3 -y 8 input.pdf output.pdf To install mutool, just install mupdf, which is probably packaged with most GNU/Linux distributions.

On debian based linux systems like ubuntu, you can install it using
sudo apt install mupdf sudo apt install mupdf-tools If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
