How to batch split, rename and encrypt PDF files by PDF Toolbox Command Line software?

Hello,

I am evaluating PDFToolbox, and believe it will help us automate our PDF processing.

https://www.verypdf.com/app/pdftoolbox/index.html

I have a multi-page PDF that I want to extract each page separately, saving, renaming and encrypting each page with unique values. So, in a PDF with 5 pages, I want to end up with 5 one-page PDF files, each with a unique name and encryption password.

I am having trouble in that the following command seems to terminate normally, but I can't find the output file (if one was generated):

C:\PortableApps\PDFToolbox_Cmd\pdftoolbox.exe MultiPageSource.pdf -split -outfile %%a.pdf -ownerpassword %%b -key128bit 128

I'm invoking the command inside a loop from a batch file, where the arguments %%a and %%b resolve to a name and a number, respectively.

I know I'm missing something simple, but I can't find it. Help!

Thanks for your message, in general, you can use two command lines to finish following functions,

1. Split a PDF file with 5 pages to 5 one page PDF files,

2. Encrypt 5 PDF files with a unique name and encryption password,

The following two command lines will finish above two functions.

This command line will split a multiple PDF file to single page PDF files,

pdftoolbox.exe sample_in1.pdf -split -outfile "_outpages_%02d.pdf"

You can use following command line to encrypt one PDF file at a time,

pdftoolbox.exe sample_in1.pdf -outfile "_permit_secure.pdf" -ownerpassword 123 -key128bit -permit printing modifyannot

You can use DOS FOR Loop Command to batch encrypt all PDF files in a folder,

for %F in (D:\temp\*.pdf) do pdftoolbox.exe "%F" -outfile "%~nF.pdf" -ownerpassword 123 -key128bit -permit printing modifyannot

Please notice, if you wish include these command lines into a .bat file, you need replace all % with %%, for example,

pdftoolbox.exe sample_in1.pdf -split -outfile "_outpages_%%02d.pdf"

for %%F in (D:\temp\_outpages_*.pdf) do pdftoolbox.exe "%%F" -outfile "%%~nF.pdf" -ownerpassword 123 -key128bit -permit printing modifyannot

If you encounter any problem with above command lines, please feel free to let us know, we are glad to assist you asap.
