Ben NuttallNeeded to split a PDF into individual pages. Couldn't think of how to do it but Firefox lets you print one page and allows print to PDF. Seems like a hack. What's a more standard way these days? Say on Linux or Mac

Hynek Schlawack@bennuttall have you looked at https://pypi.org/project/pypdfium2/ ?
It's the bindings to Chrome's PDF engine
@hynek Cool I'll check it out. I'm sure PDF manipulation in Python has come a long way since I last dabbled.
@bennuttall well, I've got a whole Obsidian page summing up their short commings. The only really goods ones for my uses are that one and pikepdf. I think PyMuPDF is decent too, but AGPL which might be fine for a script.
Katie Steckles@bennuttall OSX Preview lets you drag and drop individual pages to Finder, although if it's a big doc, maybe something like PDFSAM? https://pdfsam.org
@stecks That's good to know. This was just 3 gig tickets so just a quick task rather than a huge job. Used pdfsam years ago and last I checked I think it wasn't in Ubuntu any more or something. I'll check its status.

@bennuttall PDF Arranger lets you merge, split, add and remove pages from PDFs.
Herb@bennuttall pdftk burst operation seems to do exactly that
Derick Rethans@bennuttall man pdfseparate
pdfseparate extract single pages from a Portable Document Format (PDF).
mit_scharf@bennuttall if it is not sensitive at all i use https://www.pdf24.org/ the offline (privacy friendly) Software sadly only runs on windows.
Peter Rowlett@bennuttall pdftk for anything like this.
Gina Häußge@bennuttall I usually use cpdf for stuff like this, see https://github.com/coherentgraphics/cpdf-binaries. Command line tool, so also nice for scripting for which I use it a lot.
Documentation here: https://www.coherentpdf.com/cpdfmanual.pdf
Michael Horne@bennuttall I would probably use PdfBox and write a script... But that's about as far as I'd go. ;-)
