Check full documentation on: https://opensource.duma.sh/apps/pdf-scan-splitter

pss tool

This tool reads every PDF provided as an argument, splits every page into separate PDF and looks for a Code-128 barcode on each page. If a barcode is found, the page is saved into a file named after the barcode into the output directory. If no barcode is found, the page is saved into a file named UNKNOWN.pdf. If there are multiple barcodes on a page, the page is saved into a file named after first barcode. If there is multiple pages with the same barcode, the pages are saved into a file with a number suffix for duplicates.

WARNING: Files already existing in the output directory will be overwritten!

./pss process <output_dir> <pdf> [<pdf>...] <--dpi=200>
