Fabreasy PDF splitter
When installing Fabreasy PDF Creator two extra tools are installed to help you merge or split PDF files. The Fabreasy PDF Splitter is installed when installing Fabreasy PDF Creator. Many companies use Excel and Word for their mail merges. The fields are stored in an Excel spreadsheet and used in a Word letter. When starting the merge the output is usually sent to a printer containing company letterhead / stationery paper.
Recently a client asked for a solution to help them to create a more digital solution. At this time they were printing their mail merge on stationery paper. Next they scan their mail merge into different PDF documents on their server. Now their document contains the correct information on their stationery paper and are ready to be send by email. This is done by starting an email message manually and attach the correct document. As you can see a time consuming and paper wasting operation.
PDF Split
Using the PDF Splitter solution from Fabreasy PDF Creator this process had become much more easy and faster. The first part of the operation is still the same. This means Excel and Word are used to create the mail merge. This time the result is not send to a physical printer but to a PDF Printer. The result is a PDF file containing all the relevant data but in one PDF file. The next part explains how to use Fabreasy PDF Creator PDF Splitter

You are able to set how the input PDF file is split. It can be set at the specific page range but you can also select specific page ranges.

A email client like Outlook or Thunderbird is required.
