Introduction

APSplit is a command-line application that breaks PDF documents into individual pages or sections. There are several options available for determining how to split your files.

Memory Requirements

Minimum free memory available to run the application: 512 MBytes

Windows Installation

Windows installation is handled by the installer and does not require any special handling.

Unix Installation

Setting environmental variables (All Unix Platforms)

In this release, there are two additional environmental variables that need to be set for APSplit on all UNIX platforms. If you run APSplit from the apsplit script created during installation, these environmental variables will be set by the script. If you run apsplitapp directly, you will need to set these environmental variables to run APSplit. Once APSplit is installed, you can view the variables needed by looking at the apsplit script created by the installer.

Setting the Appligent home directory (All Unix Platforms)

The environmental variable that stores the location of the Appligent home directory is APPLIGENT_HOME. The default location for the Appligent home directory is /usr/local/appligent. The Appligent home directory contains the library files and resources needed to run APSplit. It also contains license information for APSplit.

Example:

export APPLIGENT_HOME=/usr/local/appligent

Setting the APDFL library path (All Unix except AIX)

The APDFL library path must be added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. The APDFL library path is located in a subdirectory of the APPLIGENT_HOME directory. The path should be set to ${APPLIGENT_HOME}/APDFL9.0.1/Libs

Example:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${APPLIGENT_HOME}/APDFLX.X.X/Libs

Setting the APDFL library path ( AIX Only )

The APDFL library path for AIX must be added to the LIBPATH variable. The APDFL library path is located in a subdirectory of the APPLIGENT_HOME directory. The path should be set to ${APPLIGENT_HOME}/APDFLX.X.X/Libs.

Example:

export LIBPATH=${LIBPATH}:${APPLIGENT_HOME}/APDFLX.X.X/Libs

Registration Numbers for APSplit

In previous versions of APSplit, the APSplit registration number was required as a command-line option with the -r flag each time apsplitapp was run. An apsplit script was provided that automatically added -r and the registration number to the apsplitapp command line when the script was run.

In the current release, in addition to getting the registration number from the command line, APSplit can get the registration number from a license file in the Appligent home directory. On UNIX systems, license files are created by the installation script and stored in the ${APPLIGENT_HOME}/license directory. For Windows, the license file is created by the installer and stored in the /All Users/Application Data/Appligent/License directory. With a valid license file, the -r is no longer required on the command line. The -r option can still be used as in previous versions, and will override the value in the license file.
