Just curious, will pdftk preserve links between chapters? This seems

Pdftk output is exactly like the original file, so it keeps all links.
All links in the generated file will work if they point to an existent position.
For example, if there is a link for the chapter 10, but the chapter 10
is not in the file, that link will not work (obvious?).
I guess I wasn't precise enough. The PDF format supports links across
files. The OP looks for a tool which does the split and rewrites the
metadata so that links happen across the different pdf files.
Apparently, pdftk is not this tool. But pdftk is based on iText which is
very powerful, so I can imagine someone could hack at it do get this
behavior. As I said, it's rather nontrivial, but it's not obvious that
it cannot be done.
Nevertheless, pdftk is a great tool as it is.
