Passwordless Authentication and Passwordless Security
It’s no secret — passwords can be a real headache, both for the people who use them and the people who manage them. Over time, we’ve created hundreds of passwords, it’s easy to lose track of them and they’re easily compromised. Fortunately, passwordless authentication is becoming a feasible reality for many businesses. Duo can help you get there.

This project fixed a pdf issue that I was having. Using some of the other PDF splitters out there I was trying to split a 50k page pdf and it was taking upwards 24 hours. With the splitpdf.jar it only took 10mins. Was able to integrate it into powershell to automate the entire process. It runs in 64 and 32 bit processes but for larger file sizes 64 bit is much better. It also hogs ram for larger files or else it will slow down and use paged memory.

I was able to get this to work for my purposes by modifying a source file and updating the jar. It would be nice to update the jar with a new parameter similar to uniqueSplitFilename that provides filename customization using basename, bookmark, date, padded numbers w/ an option to start from 1. If I knew more java, I'd be happy to do it. Very fast execution!

I like the possibility to integrate this wonderful tool into a command script that separates my PDF document every time I updated it. It worked for me, because I create the PDF document using OpenOffice Writer. When using PDFs made with pdflatex I experienced problems, too. But the tool is very helpful and I thank you for providing it.

Did not really work for me. Could be the pdfs I was using. I did remove colons. Maybe there is some other characters that were giving it problems.

Good program. I already had my pdf set up to the bookmarks I wanted. The only change I had to make is I had a colon character (:) in my bookmark and it didn't like it. Once I removed that it worked perfectly. used java -jar splitPDF.jar to get the list of command line parameters then java -jar splitPDF.jar -iFile <pdffile> to split the pdf. It put the pdfs in a subdirectory with the same name as the original file
