Re: Output file splitting.

Very easy to do, drag and drop the 2nd branch back onto the split component.

Re: Output file splitting.

I have a related question. I would like to separate covers and text, adding a split node to separate each. Covers, I would like to split at every 250 "sheets", not pages, imposing them cut & stack on a 17x11 sheet size. "Page size" is 8.5x11. The text of the book, I would like to split at every 500 sheets. This helps bindery when cutting lifts. 

 

I thought that I could set up the imposition node before the split node, that way, the split would be at every 250 sheets, but doesn't seem to work? I can get the split to work nice "before" the imposition node, but then it splits at pages, not sheets. Is there a way I can split at sheets instead of pages?

 

I would also like to have the option to drop in different page quantities and have Core split correctly. Right now I have branches set up as, 1-250, another branch at 251-500 etc. Javier, you said in this email to set up the first branch of the split node at 1-2000 and the 2nd branch at 2001--1, thus pulling in all pages. You said to connect the 2nd branch back to the split node so as to take jobs at any length. My question is; how do you connect a branch back to it's own split node? I'm confused about this.

Re: Output file splitting.

Add a split component to the workflow. The first branch should pull pages 1 - 2000. The second branch should pull pages 2001 - -1 (-1 being the last page).

Connect the second branch back to the split node. This will take jobs of any length and split them into 2000 page chunks.

Output file splitting.

How do you split a large file, for example a 10000 pager file into multiple files of 2000 pages.
