Each page has the person's first and last name. I would like to grep the last name and write a scripts to separate each page, turn it into a new pdf file with the last name being part of the file name instead of sequential numbers matching the total number of pages at the end of each file name. I know PDFs are binary documents. Are there any tools to look up the last names and manipulate them that way? Thanks Mac
