Building APOUL PDF Split
A Windows app that splits a PDF inside your own machine, without sending it to an outside service. This page covers the design thinking and how release preparation is going.
What this page is
A development log, not the product page.
If you want to know what APOUL PDF Split actually does, the product page is the place. This page is about how it is being designed and what the first release covers.
Only the pages you need
One page at a time, a range, or several ranges.
The original is left alone
The source PDF is never overwritten; you confirm the output folder and file name.
How it works
Three steps to a split file.
1 · Choose a PDF
Pick the file to split and check the page count and file details.
2 · Choose the pages
One page at a time, a range, or several ranges.
3 · Save
Confirm the output folder and file name; it saves as a separate file from the original.
Where it fits
Situations it is built for.
- Pulling only the pages you need out of a long document
- Splitting one PDF per recipient or per job
- Handling a PDF with personal data without sending it to an online service
- Keeping Japanese file names intact while you sort things out
What the first release leaves out
The scope is splitting. Merging, OCR, editing and cloud storage are not part of the first release.
Where it stands
Currently checking behaviour on Windows, handling of malformed PDFs, what is shown when a save fails, installation and uninstallation, and third-party licences.
