Split pdf file 28 weeks 2 days ago

Hello,

I made a document in odt format and exported it to the pdf format. The size of the pdf is about 24MB.

I have a txt file which is formatted as 250,000 * 3600 (3600 rows and 250,000 column) I am going to split it into 3600 small txt which each file is 250,000 * 1.

I understand the split can basically split large file into small ones with certain size. If I followed the same technique, I would get the same size of files but each file can be either 249,999 * 1 or 250,001 *1.
