Splitting a PDF page in two

rated 0 times [ 29] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 38641 / 1 Year ago, wed, march 22, 2023, 1:19:45

I have a PDF file that was the result of the scan of a book.

In this file 2 pages of the book correspond to 1 in the PDF. So when I see a page in the PDF file I'm actually seeing 2 pages of the book.

enter image description here

(original)

I would like to know if there's any way to convert this file to another PDF where 1 page of the book corresponds to 1 page of the PDF i.e. the normal situation.

Try Gscan2pdf, which you can download from the Software Centre or which you can install from command line sudo apt-get install gscan2pdf.

Open Gscan2Pdf:

file > import your PDF file;

Now you have a single page (see the left column):

then tools > Clean up;

select double as layout and #output pages as 2, then click OK;

Gscan2pdf splits your document (among other things, it will also
clean it up and deskew it etc.) Now you have two pages:

Save your PDF file if you're satisfied with the result.
