Separate PDF files

Separate PDF files

Is there a way to have texexec output separate pdf files for each page it
generates instead of a single pdf file?  I have looked through all of the
post-processing commands but can not figure out how to do it from that.

Thank you,
paul

It can easily be done with pdftk

pdftk file.pdf burst

if there is no contexty way

Not sure, but pdftk (the PDF toolkit, a.k.a. Swiss army knife) has a
'burst' option.  For example:

    pdftk mydoc.pdf burst

gives you pg_0001.pdf, pg_0002.pdf, ....  You can control the output
names with the 'output' option by passing a printf-style string:

    pdftk mydoc.pdf burst output 'mydoc-%02d.pdf'
