Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

pdf-splitter

NodeJS package for splitting pdfs, based on given ranges or keywords. Uses PDFtk and node-pdftk for splitting, and PDF.js for pdf-text-reading

Requirements

Make sure you have PDFtk installed. Save the path to the executable as an environment variable "PDFTK_EXT".

For example in .env

PDFTK_EXT="<installationPath>/PDFtk/bin/pdftk"

Installing

$ npm install @vtfk/pdf-splitter

Usage

With array of page-ranges

Specify which pages you want to split into new documents

| Description | Value | | -------- | -------- | | Page one and three as separate documents | ['1', '3'] | | Page one to four (inclusive) as doc and page three, six, and eight to ten (inclusive) as doc | ['1-4', '3 6 8-10'] |

const splitPdf = require('@vtfk/pdf-splitter')

const pdfToSplit = {
    pdfPath: 'a pdf.pdf',
    ranges: ['1-4', '3 6 8-10', '4 2'],
    outputDir: 'path/to/outputDirectory', // Optional, defaults to directory of the input pdf
    outputName: 'nameForResultingPdfs' // Optional, defaults to the <NameOfPdf>-<index>.pdf
}

const result = await splitPdf(pdfToSplit)
console.log(result)

With array of keywords/sentences

Specify on which keywords/sentences you want to split the document on (EVERY word/sentence must be present for it to split on that page - see option "orKeywords" for the SOME instead of EVERY)

NOTE: At least one keyword or sentence must be unique for the document

const splitPdf = require('@vtfk/pdf-splitter')

const pdfToSplit = {
    pdfPath: 'a pdf.pdf',
    keywords: ['a unique sentence for the page you want to split on', 'word', 'another'],
    outputDir: 'path/to/outputDirectory', // Optional, defaults to directory of the input pdf
    outputName: 'nameForResultingPdfs' // Optional, defaults to the <NameOfPdf>-<index>.pdf
}

const result = await splitPdf(pdfToSplit)
console.log(result)

Options

options.onlyPagesWithKeywords

Only return the pages where the keywords are present as separate documents

const splitPdf = require('@vtfk/pdf-splitter')

const pdfToSplit = {
    pdfPath: 'a pdf.pdf',
    keywords: ['a unique sentence for the page you want to split on', 'word', 'another'],
    outputDir: 'path/to/outputDirectory', // Optional, defaults to directory of the input pdf
    outputName: 'nameForResultingPdfs', // Optional, defaults to the <NameOfPdf>-<index>.pdf
    onlyPagesWithKeywords: true
}

const result = await splitPdf(pdfToSplit)
console.log(result)

options.orKeywords Only require ONE of the keywords to be present on the page, for it to split on that page

const splitPdf = require('@vtfk/pdf-splitter')

const pdfToSplit = {
    pdfPath: 'a pdf.pdf',
    keywords: ['a unique sentence for the page you want to split on', 'word', 'another'], // will split if one of these are present on the page
    outputDir: 'path/to/outputDirectory', // Optional, defaults to directory of the input pdf
    outputName: 'nameForResultingPdfs', // Optional, defaults to the <NameOfPdf>-<index>.pdf
    orKeywords: true // Optional, defaults to false
}

const result = await splitPdf(pdfToSplit)
console.log(result)
