Hopefully simple problem. I want to split a 156 MB pdf into chapters (around 30-60 pages per) so that I can hopefully easily open them through pdf apps on my LG Ally (it can't handle 156 MB PDFs it seems). I've tried doing a Google search and decided instead of trying to wade through countless demos, free programs and ones I have to pay for, I would see if anyone here knows of any useful and free programs that I could use to split a PDF.
Thanks for the help. It turns out the book (CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide in case you're curious) is password protected so that I can't split it, copy text or otherwise edit it at all.
I've tried printing to create a new file, it won't work. If I have the "Print to File" option selected, which made sense at the time, it creates a new file of some unrecognizable type which adobe can't open. If I don't have that option selected, it pops up a quick word file which tells me
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Yea, that is one of the ones I tried and one of the ones that didn't do anything due to its security. I'm just going to have to live with having to find apps that won't die trying to load it like the Adobe app does, which is odd since its well, Adobe's.
Have you tried using CutePDF Writer (which was mentioned above)? It installs a virtual printer to your computer that outputs PDFs instead of data to an actual printer.

This is a good idea. If CutePDF Writer doesn't work, the one that I normally use is Bullzip PDF Printer.
Okay, I guess I didn't google hard enough. Adobe Pro and Foxit were falling apart as they both started freezing before even starting to print.
Then I found A-PDF Split. It did the job in less then 30 seconds. Sure, I have to live with a watermark at the top of the first page of each PDF but this has taken 5 hours to do what should have been something damn simple.
There are many ways you refer to split pdf file. Generally, you can split the ways into three types.
!.PDF editor
You can use Acrobat or Foxit editor to split pdf file in .pdf format, the operation is a little complex and the software is not cheap, I have no idea that the tria version would help you a lot. Just a trial.
2.PDF converter to word
You can split pdf in Word process, I think word process can help you do that work bettter than PDF process. there are many free pdf to word converter converter you can refer to, just like online software zamzar.com and offline software PDF to Word Converter, which can help you well. Of course, you can use OpenOffice,which can help you save pdf as word freely.
3. PDF Splitter
PDF spliter is designed for splitting PDF by different ways, you can split it by page range, bookmarks and chapters. It all depends. Google is good buddy and would help you find appropriate application. Anyway, I suggest you a program I have ever used, you can take it for reference. http://www.anypdftools.com/pdf-splitter.html

Only print the pages you want in each section, dont reprint the whole PDF.
