PDF Splitter: File size issues

[Kempes]

Hi all,

I am using PDF Splitter that splits a master document by the bookmarks.

The issue I have is that the main doc contains many images, and when it splits, each individual document created is a similar size to the master document even though it is a fraction of the information.

I believe this is because it stores the same metadata for each split document, and the images are global.

Is there any way of reducing the size of each split document (by a lot)?

Many thanks
Kempes

What software are you using ? Do they have any help/ faq on their website ?

PDF Junction by aquaforest is used to split the file. I can't find the answer on their website.
I have successfully managed to reduce the file size using acrobat professional PDF Optimizer then saving it down and splitting, which as a manual process works, but is very time consuming.
There is a need to script this so I am looking if it is possible to trigger optimization from command line but I don't think it is.
I have also looked at other tools such as PDF Enhancer, which does come with command line functionality and appears to reduce the file size, only for an error to display when opening the PDF.
