This seems > rather nontrivial. Pdftk output is exactly like the original file, so it keeps all links. All links in the generated file will work if they point to an existent position. For example, if there is a link for the chapter 10, but the chapter 10 is not in the file, that link will not work (obvious?). > I have tried to split the document by pdf creator. it works but, the link > cannot work. > Any suggestion? Use Pdftk. http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/ It is much easier than using a pdf printer like PDF Creator, and the output is much better. Its usage is trivial: - pdftk infile.pdf cat 1-20 output outfile.pdf This command create a new file named outfile.pdf with the pages 1-20 from infile.pdf. By default, the metadata is lost (bookmarks, authorname, title, password etc). But you can use pdftk's "update_info" parameter to insert metadata on a file. Google it if you need.
