I have a document that's quite long. It uses a recurse function, a bit
like this:
\starttext
\dostepwiserecurse{1}{180}{1}{%
\input chapter\recurselevel
}
\stoptext
That produces 180 chapters of content.
Anyway, my boss is upset she has to use a table of contents to navigate
to the page she wants, and so wants me to split the file into 180
separate files, which somehow is going to be easier to look at.
Honestly, she probably still won't ever actually look at it, but that's
her requirement.
The problem is, I've been splitting the file by using Print --> PDF and
choosing a custom print range, and then saving it. If I ned to repeat
that 180 times, it not only will have errors, but probably take 5-10 hours.
Is there something I can put, like \breakpdf or something that will tell
it to start a new PDF file? They can be named something like file1.pdf,
file2.pdf, etc.
\starttext
\dostepwiserecurse{1}{136}{1}{%
\input chapter\recurselevel
\breakpdf
}
\stoptext
The perhaps "obvious" answer is just make 180 *.tex files, but since
the minimal example above is like 0.01% of the complexity of the real
file, that isn't so easy...
You can use the pdf script file but it's slower than mutool or pdftk.
mtxrun --script pdf --split file.pdf
