Playing around

I just downloaded a program called A-PDF Size Splitter.¬† It lets you split any Acrobat PDF file, or group of files, into smaller-sized PDF files. It’s decent when you have to deal with file sized limits imposed by your email provider or even for meeting specialized requirements such as maximum attachment size on websites that you’re involved with.

I’ve recently dealt with a client who sent me all of his write-up’s via PDF format.¬† Now, the questions about the site itself were done via email, the write-ups were all of his content pages that needed to be worked into his 300+ page website.¬† He’s an amazing author but even his short stories were like 15MB files, my inbox nearly blew up on me because of it.¬† I kind of wish I knew about this program before I started working with him, he’s recently downloaded it to make my life a little easier.¬† I could easily split things up on my end but he’s in love with the program now.¬† It wasn’t an email issue for me though, it was Acrobat, it would crash on me with the initial load of some of the files considering how large the file-size was.¬† I think it would benefit anyone who uses PDF’s on a regular basis, honestly.
