Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.I just need to split a huge pdf file into multiple pdf files.This needs to be done in VB.Net.Do we have any methods in Acrobat for doing this?Thanks in advance!

Sure. Download the Acrobat SDK and look at the samples...

I am doing pretty much the same thing. But what I would like to do is split a pdf into multiple pdfs and name each output pdf according to the name of the bookmark. (The output pdfs could be 1 or more pages...)

Have looked through the SDK documentation but unliess I skipped over something I have not found a way to do this. Any ideas?

You must have skipped over both the IAC and JavaScript API references then. ;)

Both IAC and JavaScript have "insert pages" methods that will let you insert specific pages from one document into another. They also both have "create" methods that let you create a blank PDF.

So you could create a blank document, and then insert whatever pages you wanted based on whatever factors you wanted from your source document into that new document.

I can split the document and create pdfs just fine. The problem I'm having is reading information from the source pdf.

The source pdf is a master account list. I'd like to break it apart by account #. From what I can tell there is no metadata on each page to identify the account. However each account is bookmarked. If I could somehow link pages to bookmarks or bookmarks to pages that would suit me fine. But from what I can tell the only way to get any info from a bookmark is to know the title.

You can execute a bookmark to have it take you the starting page, grab it's number, then go to the next bookmark and grab it's number...

Can I move through bookmarks sequentially? I thought the only way to retrieve a bookmark was to “GetByTitle”. In which case I would have to know the title of the bookmark. Which I may not know if there is a new account…

yes, you can move through them sequentially. there is a sample in the SDK.
