PDF Split Merge ActiveX DLL

Overview

PDF Split Merge ActiveX DLL handles the everyday document-assembly jobs that show up in print, archive and reporting systems: cut a PDF into page ranges, combine pages from several files, and rotate pages that were scanned sideways.

Ranges use a simple syntax such as 1-3,4-6,9. Merge lists can include page ranges per file, so you can pull only the pages you need instead of concatenating entire documents.

The component preserves links and form fields where possible and works with protected inputs when the password is supplied. It is a standalone DLL with no Acrobat dependency.

Sample code

VB example

VB

Dim obj As Object
Set obj = CreateObject("PDFSplitMergeX.SplitMergeLib")
obj.SetLicenseKey "YOUR-LICENSE-KEY"

' Split into three files: pages 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9
obj.Split "C:\docs\input.pdf", "", "1-3,4-6,7-9", "C:\docs\part-%d.pdf"

' Merge selected pages from two files
obj.Merge "C:\docs\a.pdf?1-2|C:\docs\b.pdf?3-4", "C:\docs\merged.pdf"

' Rotate the first page 90 degrees
obj.Rotate "C:\docs\input.pdf", "", "1", 90, "C:\docs\rotated.pdf"

Set obj = Nothing
