Re: Split single page from PDF

Hi,

When you run the app jar without parameters, you have the following output

    usage: java pdfbox-app-x.y.z.jar <command> <args..>

You have forgotten the <command>, that is PDFSplit in you case.

    java -jar pdfbox-app-1.7.1.jar      PDFSplit       -split 1 -startPage
1 -endPage 2 ~/apdffile.pdf

BR,
Eric
