Thanks again to all who answered my two part question (next time I will make it
two separate questions...)
Frank, I already have that selected. The problem is not how transactions are
entered or displayed.
If I am entering a manual transaction, I can add any number of splits no
problem.
The issue is specifically with the Bill, or Invoice, "Process Payment" form
which only allows one payment amount, and one transfer account (from the
account tree).
If I bypass the "Process Payment" by using manual transactions the Bill or
Invoice is not closed.
All the best,
Eric Hammond

Then it's time to claim your easter egg ;-):
Edit->Peeferences->Register Defaults,
select Default Style: "Auto-Split ledger" or "Transaction Journal"
More details in
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/set-prefs.html#prefs-reg-def
Then you can easily enter the differnt amounts.

More cat skinning:

In Windows (or probably any GUI) double-click file in data folder and it
will use file association to open the file (in GnuCash).
Alternatively, for each file: right-click file, create a shortcut, drag
shortcut to desktop. Same as above from desktop.

But I did see Peter West's warning about checking results
carefully--it's not always the expected result. Although I hope the
products from the same source are consistent enough to make it
reasonably fool proof. (See my comments below.)

Yes, I now see my "PDF COmplete" on Windows can do that--I never
thought of doing that until now.

Right, but good to know for later.

Yes, and I agree it's sometimes hard to find. Yesterday I did find one
bank (the bank I'm leaving) does have two choices of download for the
credit card: CSV and OFX. That is very helpful for working on a
transformation algorithm. I did look at the PDF to text transformation
on one of the new bank's statements (definitely nothing but PDFs) and
it looks surprisingly usable, so that's exciting.
I was too hasty in my outright condemnation of PDF to text because I
had worked on a project with a PDF expert to generate PDF as a native
file and saw how easy it is to get things out of place. I usually
create beautiful, and accurate, PDFs by writing the PostScript code
and relying on Ghostscript's ps2pdf converter. Thus going backwards in
the workflow is a little different for my longtime mindset.
Best regards,
-Tom

I can't imagine having so many transactions that the time it took to program
the process would in the end save me time in doing the accounting.
My method for processing pdf statements is to open the pdf statement in one
window and enter my transactions in GnuCash in another-- the old fashioned way:
by keying them in. This is remarkably quick in most cases, due to autofill--
and it gives me a sanity check on the data that's getting input (does that
transaction look right?). It works pretty well for me.

On Windows I would recommend Ocular which is a PDF viewer and light editor
that you can find in the Windows Store. Ocular allows copying text.
Ocular is open source, ad free, and make by KDE so you won't have to worry
about them taking features away like mentioned with Adobe.
