Split ONE PDF page down the middle into TWO new ..https://superuser.com/questions/791022/how-can-i-split-in-half-a-double-page-scanned-pdf-in-a-single-pass I have a scanned course and it has two pages, consecutive are showing as one page, how can I automatically split all the pages in one pass. Usually this is done by cropping odd and even pages and then merge them back together but this could take very much?

How can I split pages on scanned PDF in a single pass? pdf adobe-acrobat There's an excellent, free and open source tool called Briss. It is very simple, user friendly and effective.  It works on multiple operating systems through Java. Load your PDF into the app. The app will group similar pages together and lay them on top of each other.  Draw rectangles on top of your pages so that they cover what you want included. It will look like this:....

You can also use a tool such as PDF Split & Merge (PDF SAM) which has built-in split and merge functions and is quite simple to use and has a free version which I have personally used for some time. First you'd create a PDF of a blank page using a PDF Printer such as in the 1st option above. Then you use PDF SAM's split function to split your PDF into two pages. Then you'd use PDF SAM's merge function to add the blank page you created first to each of the 2 PDFs you created using the split function. So the entire process would look like this:  Open your document editor and create a new blank document. Print this document using the PDF printer on your computer. Save it as BlankPage.pdf. Open the 2-page PDF using PDF SAM and split this by individual pages into pg1.pdf and pg2.pdf. Open pg1.pdf in PDF SAM and use the merge function to add BlankPage.pdf as the second page. Repeat step 4 using pg2.pdf.
