You have to install them: sudo apt-get install poppler-utilities pdfmod

it seems pdfmod is the utility and I can not find pdf separate. Is this in GIMP? :-)~MIKE~(-: On Sun, Jul 14, 2013 at 1:09 PM, Brian Cluff <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: pdfmod should be in your menu, and I would try using it first. pdfseparate is a command line utility. Just go into an empty directory and them do: pdfseperate /path/to/your.pdf and it will split your PDF into a separate PDF file per page. You can use pdfmod to put a separated PDF back together.

How do I access the poppler utilities package and the pdfmod package? :-)~MIKE~(-: On Sun, Jul 14, 2013 at 12:09 PM, Brian Cluff <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>> wrote: Next time you might want to try using pdfseperate from the poppler-utilities package. I believe that you will find that it pulls your PDF apart into seperate pages otherwise completely intact. You might also want to take a look at pdfmod from the pdfmod package. It will allow you to rotate, extract, remove and reorder pages via drag and drop. Brian Cluff On 07/14/2013 09:44 AM, Michael Havens wrote: I have a PDF file that I needed to separate the pages of. So i loaded it into gscan2pdf and deleted the pages I didn't need. Unfortunately one of the pages was a legal sized paper and apparently gscan2pdf doesn't like legal paper so it scrunched it down to standard paper size. That would be fine except it scrunched all the other pages by the same aspect thus leading to scewed pages. That's fine, I'll open the pages with GIMP and stretch the pages back to normal size..... how to do that? The solution is to scale the image then to export the image as a pdf. Unfortunately, When you save the image it only saves one page. The solution? Open gscan2pdf, open each individual image, and then save it again making sure that in the save dialog "All" is selected in "PageRange". Aren't you proud of me? I figured it out. I'm sending this in case anyone else has the same problem. My "Question" turned into a "How-To". :-)~MIKE~(-: ------------------------------____--------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected].____org <mailto:PLUG-discuss@lists.__phxlinux.org <mailto:[email protected]>> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/____mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss <http://lists.phxlinux.org/__mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss> <http://lists.phxlinux.org/__mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss <http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss>> ------------------------------____--------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected].____org <mailto:PLUG-discuss@lists.__phxlinux.org <mailto:[email protected]>> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/____mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss <http://lists.phxlinux.org/__mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss> <http://lists.phxlinux.org/__mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss <http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss>> ------------------------------__--------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected].__org <mailto:[email protected]> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/__mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss <http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss> ------------------------------__--------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected].__org <mailto:[email protected]> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/__mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss <http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss> --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
