Extracted PDF pages can be renamed for your convenience. The default renaming template [Name].page#.pdf. So if you split Report.pdf, the split files will look like Report.page1.pdf, Report.page2.pdf, etc.

PDF SplitterX ships with PDFSplitterX.exe, a console binary you can drive from scripts, scheduled tasks, CI runners, or any backend service. The flag set matches the GUI PDFSplitter.exe; for the full reference see the command-line documentation. The recipes below cover the cases we hear about most often from SDK customers.
The smallest possible call — one source file, one output folder. Each page becomes its own PDF using the default Name.pageN.pdf naming template.
PDFSplitterX.exe "C:\PDF\Report.pdf" "C:\out\" -cPDF
When you only need a slice of the document — an appendix, a single chapter, a signature page — -p takes a comma-separated list of pages and ranges.
PDFSplitterX.exe "C:\PDF\Contract.pdf" "C:\out\" -cPDF -p "2-3"
Mix individual pages and ranges: -p "1,3,6-10,15" extracts those exact pages and skips the rest.
For distribution or review, big PDFs are easier to handle in fixed-size chunks. -cp starts a new output document every N pages; combine with -p to limit the source range.
PDFSplitterX.exe "C:\PDF\Manual.pdf" "C:\out\" -cPDF -p "1-8" -cp 4
That call produces two 4-page PDFs from pages 1–8. Drop -p to chunk the entire file.
Books, technical manuals and legal PDFs usually carry a bookmark tree. Splitting on bookmark boundaries gives you one PDF per chapter, section, or article. -b picks the bookmark level — level 1 splits at top-level bookmarks, level 2 at sub-bookmarks, and so on.
PDFSplitterX.exe "C:\PDF\Handbook.pdf" "C:\out\" -em bookmarks -b 3
The classic high-volume scanning workflow: feed a stack of mixed documents through the scanner with a blank sheet between each one, then split the resulting PDF on those blanks. -bc sets how many consecutive blank pages mark a boundary; -bt (1–10) controls how aggressively a near-empty page counts as blank.
PDFSplitterX.exe "C:\scans\daybatch.pdf" "C:\out\" -em blanks -bc 2 -bt 5
Useful for duplex-scan reconstruction and for separating front-and-back layouts. -em odd keeps the odd pages, -em even keeps the even pages.
PDFSplitterX.exe "C:\PDF\Duplex.pdf" "C:\out\fronts\" -cPDF -em odd
PDFSplitterX.exe "C:\PDF\Duplex.pdf" "C:\out\backs\" -cPDF -em even
Default file names are Source.page1.pdf, Source.page2.pdf, etc. -t sets a custom template; the # character marks the counter position and the digit after it sets the pad width. -ts sets the starting number.
PDFSplitterX.exe "C:\PDF\Report.pdf" "C:\out\" -cPDF -t "page#5" -ts 1
That produces page00001.pdf, page00002.pdf, … Pass -ts -1 to continue numbering from the count of files already in the destination folder.
Server-side splitting almost always runs over a folder of inputs. -Recurse walks subdirectories; -kfs recreates the same tree on the output side; -log with -verbosity detail writes one line per file so you can audit what happened. The destination uses <DATE> macro to land each run in its own dated folder.
PDFSplitterX.exe "C:\inbox\*.pdf" "C:\out\<DATE>\" -cPDF -Recurse -kfs -fo -log "C:\logs\splitter.log" -verbosity detail
Add -do to delete originals after a successful split — handy when the inbox is purely a queue.
When a worker writes a queue file and the splitter consumes it, you don't want to encode the file paths into the command line itself. -list reads file masks (one per line) from a text file.
PDFSplitterX.exe -list "C:\queues\split-batch.txt" "C:\out\" -cPDF -em pages
