Previously, I touched on the concept of splitting PDF files for filing or archival. If you have a web-ready PDF document that you've decided to split in order to reduce reader loading times, do you need to recreate all of the bookmarks and links by hand? What can you do with PDF documents containing large numbers of internal navigational elements such as bookmarks and links?

If this is a problem you face, the good news here is that you are not alone, and that help is at hand. While it's not technically correct to say that the links can be retained, there are third-party tools available that can convert the interactive elements (e.g. bookmarks) such that they will still function as long as the separated documents are still located in the same folder.

Specifically, two such tools spring to mind from PDF Store's inventory: ARTS PDF Split & Merge Plus is a specialized tool designed for PDF document assembly, while Organic Master Toolbox is a versatile multi-function application that includes a tool called PDFSplitter. It may also be worth considering the Organic Build & Split Set -- a subset of the full Organic Master Toolbox.

Please browse PDF Store's Split & Merge PDF aisle for the complete range of tools for PDF Splitting.
