How to use

  1. Download scan-pdf-split.exe and run it (no install).
  2. Drop a PDF and check the split line. It finds the gutter shadow and aligns automatically.
  3. Save, and a PDF with every sheet split in two is created.

What it does not do

  • No OCR.
  • Margin cropping and image cleanup are separate tools.
  • The cut-off half is hidden, not removed; it is still inside the file. Do not use this to hide content.
  • It does not straighten tilted scans.

Since v0.1.3, the program sends only its name and version to the Chaekgalpi server when it starts, to check whether a newer version exists. No file is sent, it asks once a day, and you can turn it off in the settings.
