Breaking apart PDF files for email

[timesmith@adobeforums.com]

I know there is a way to break apart a PDF in to smaller pieces with user-assigned maximum individual file sizes that are then "reassembled" when the end-user opens one of the individual files. This makes it possible to email very large PDFs in separate emails. I can't remember how I've done this in the past, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, but I know about extracting pages, but that's not the method I'm talking about. As I stated before, the method I'm thinking of breaks the email in to pieces based on a predetermined maximum size, say 5 MB, then reassembles when the person receiving the email opens one of the pieces.

That would be a feature of special mail clients - it's NOT part of the PDF specification NOR of the SMTP or POP protocols used for Email.

Also reminds me of the old Mac tool called diskdoubler ....

Stuffit Deluxe can do that as well
