I am look for a server side PDF library (or command line tool) which can:

  • split a multi-page PDF file into individual PDF files, based on
  • a search result of the PDF file content

Examples:

  • Search "Page ???" pattern in text and split the big PDF into 001.pdf, 002,pdf, ... ???.pdf

A server program will scan the PDF, look for the search pattern, save the page(s) which match the patten, and save the file in the disk.

It will be nice with integration with PHP / Ruby. Command line tool is also acceptable. It will be a server side (linux or win32) batch processing tool. GUI/login is not supported. i18n support will be nice but no required. Thanks~
