** PIP LIST LIST ALL INSTALLED PACKAGES **

npm list

npm cache purge

PYTHON

To run this script on your laptop, you need to install the required dependencies. Here's what each part of
the code does and what you need to install:

Step 1: Install Required Libraries

Open the command prompt (cmd) and run the following command:

pip install pymupdf tk

Explanation of Installed Libraries:

pymupdf (fitz) → This library allows reading, editing, and splitting PDFs.

tk (Tkinter) → This is a built-in Python library used to create graphical interfaces, such as file upload
dialogs.

Step 2: Explanation of the Code

1. Import Required Libraries

python

Copy

Edit

import fitz # PyMuPDF (for handling PDFs)

import tkinter as tk # Tkinter (for GUI)

from tkinter import filedialog # File dialog for selecting the PDF

fitz (from PyMuPDF) is used to open, read, and manipulate PDF files.
tkinter is used to create a graphical user interface (GUI) to select files.

2. Function to Split the PDF

python

Copy

Edit

def split_pdf(input_pdf, pages_per_split):

doc = fitz.open(input_pdf) # Open the PDF file

total_pages = len(doc) # Get the total number of pages

for i in range(0, total_pages, pages_per_split): # Loop through the document in chunks

output_pdf = f"split_{i+1}-{i+pages_per_split}.pdf" # Name for each split file

new_doc = fitz.open() # Create a new PDF document

new_doc.insert_pdf(doc, from_page=i, to_page=min(i+pages_per_split-1, total_pages-1)) # Extract


and insert pages

new_doc.save(output_pdf) # Save the split PDF

new_doc.close() # Close the file

print(f"Saved: {output_pdf}") # Print confirmation

Opens the selected PDF file.

Splits it into smaller PDFs based on the specified number of pages.

Saves each split PDF with a different name.

3. Function to Open File Dialog and Select a PDF


python

Copy

Edit

def upload_file():

root = tk.Tk()

root.withdraw() # Hide the main Tkinter window

file_path = filedialog.askopenfilename(filetypes=[("PDF Files", "*.pdf")]) # Open file dialog

if file_path:

split_pdf(file_path, 10) # Call split function with 10 pages per split

Opens a file dialog to let the user choose a PDF file.

Passes the selected file to the split_pdf function with 10 pages per split.

4. Main Execution

python

Copy

Edit

if __name__ == "__main__":

upload_file()

Runs the script and opens the file selection dialog.

Final Steps

Save the script as split_pdf.py.

Run it using:
sh

Copy

Edit

python split_pdf.py

A file dialog will open—select a PDF.

The script will split the PDF into smaller files and save them in the same directory.
