PDF Splitter Iterator

PDF Splitter Iterator: Splits an unprotected PDF document into several new PDF documents.

This adapter expects an adapter-specific input XML structure which contains the path to the processed PDF document in the repository. The adapter outputs the data of a PDF part document as a binary data stream or as an XML document per iteration.

Input

This function adapter expects an adapter-specific input XML structure which contains the path to the processed PDF document in the repository or the Base64 string.

PDF in PDF format

The following input XML document contains the path to a PDF document in the repository.

HTML/XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PDF url="xstore://Project/Folder/Input.pdf"/>

PDF in Base64 format

The following input XML document contains the Base64 string.

HTML/XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PDF encoding="base64">
  Base64 string
</PDF>

Output

If the ToXML parameter is disabled, the output can be saved directly as a buffer file in PDF format.

If the ToXML parameter is enabled, the output looks like this:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PDF encoding="base64">
	Base64 string
</PDF>

Example

The process splits the XML and stores all intermediate results in XML format in a variable. To store the variables, the X4 Variable Collector adapter is used.
