PDFSplitter is a .NET Framework application which allows you to split one big pdf file into separates pages and rename them automatically using a table or query from a sql server.

PDFSplitter itself doesn't split the pdf files, this does pdftk from AccessPDF.com.

PDFSplitters job is to call pdftk to split the pdf files into single pages and then rename the files according to a custom column of a custom sql table or query.

My usage scenario is as follows: we create sales statistics for our sales staff on a montly basis. The report with the statistics is one pdf file with one page for each sales person and a cover page at the beginning of the report. Before i wrote PDFSplitter i had to manually split every single page (i printed the big pdf file with PDFCreator into a single page) and rename each file by hand to the according sales man lastname.
