- split / join, part of the coreutils package
- pdftk to manipulate pdf files
- pdfedit to edit pdf files
More below...
If it is only to split a large file so it will fit on a smaller medium split
and join may be what you are looking for. Both split and join are part of the
coreutils package.
If you want to split a large pdf file (a book) into smaller pdf files, e.g.
which have one chapter each the tools of the pdftk package will do the job.
From 'apt-cache show pdftk':
Description: A useful tool for manipulating PDF documents
If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic stapler-remover,
hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. Pdftk is a
simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents. Keep one in the
top drawer of your desktop and use it to:
- Merge PDF documents
- Split PDF pages into a new document
- Decrypt input as necessary (password required)
- Encrypt output as desired
- Fill PDF Forms with FDF Data and/or Flatten Forms
- Apply a Background Watermark
- Report PDF on metrics, including metadata and bookmarks
- Update PDF Metadata
- Attach Files to PDF Pages or the PDF Document
- Unpack PDF Attachments
- Burst a PDF document into single pages
- Uncompress and re-compress page streams
- Repair corrupted PDF (where possible)
If you want to edit a pdf file the package pdfedit is what you are looking
for.
From 'apt-cache show pdfedit':
Description: Editor for manipulating PDF documents
Complete editing of pdf documents is made possible with PDFedit. You
can change either raw pdf objects (for advanced users) or use
predefined gui functions. Functions can be easily added as everything
is based on a scripts.
