pdfseparate: Extract pages from PDF file and make a separate PDF file for each page.
$ pdfseparate ${path-to-source_filename-pdf} ${path-to-destination_filename-%d-pdf}
try on your machine

The command "pdfseparate" is being used here, followed by two arguments.

  1. ${path-to-source_filename-pdf}: This is the path to the source PDF file that you want to separate.

  2. ${path-to-destination_filename-%d-pdf}: This is the path to the destination PDF file(s) that will be created after separating the source PDF. The "%d" is a placeholder that will be replaced with a numerical value to differentiate the destination files.

In summary, this command will separate a given PDF file into multiple separate PDF files, with each file having a distinct filename specified by the second argument.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
