Hi PDF24 Support,

Thanks for taking the time to reply to this post.

I have been using the manual crop, but as you point out, this is a lot of work (usually involving a spreadsheet to calculate the margins and size of the first page, then shift this along N-1 times, to calculate the crop points for page N, etc)... To be clear though, this is 100% of the manufacturer/author of the PDF and appreciate there is never going to be an easy way of doing this -- it's just frustrating, having to spend 30-60 minutes to crop and re-format a PDF into an actually readable/usable format!

A visual crop tool would be great, especially if this could have:

• Hovering zoomed-in preview window (to pick a pixel-perfect crop point, e.g. to make sure I crop inside the borders on the example image above)
• Editable input boxes to refine the crop positions and/or dimensions of the crop box (this would be key to ensure pages were all cropped to the same size)

I will look forward to the visual crop feature whenever you/team are able to add this in, until then thanks again for your reply and all your work on PDF24!

Thanks Stefan,

I tried using Split PDF (Halve pages mode) and this did split the single page into 2 pages (dividing the page in half, vertically) as you said...

Unfortunately...
-- This left me with 2x 15-per-page PDFs (rather than 1x 30-per-page PDF) and so still quite far from my ideal output
-- Also, the cut point ended up going through the middle of a page

Is there any way I can control this mode more accurately (e.g. set the pixels to cut at, etc)?

ADMIN: Please can you change the question title to: "How to convert single-page (n-per-page) PDF to multi-page (1-per-page) PDF? (split, crop, extract)" -- I tried but couldn't find a way to edit the question.
