This works impeccably: Original file = hws-vol1.pdf #split hws-vol1.pdf splittest -b 1m (gave the split files below) -rwxr--r-- 1 sageame sageame - 4638512 Aug 12 11:49 hws-vol1.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 sageame sageame - 4638512 Nov 2 16:15 split.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 sageame sageame - 1048576 Nov 2 14:12 splittestaa -rw-r--r-- 1 sageame sageame - 1048576 Nov 2 14:12 splittestab -rw-r--r-- 1 sageame sageame - 1048576 Nov 2 14:12 splittestac -rw-r--r-- 1 sageame sageame - 1048576 Nov 2 14:12 splittestad -rw-r--r-- 1 sageame sageame - 444208 Nov 2 14:12 splittestae Then: cat splittestaa >> split.pdf cat splittestab >> split.pdf cat splittestac >> split.pdf cat splittestad >> split.pdf cat splittestae >> split.pdf ...gave the 100% correct file back as "split.pdf" ...same size as original and it loads perfectly in the Acrobat Reader which solves my problem with this one. I suspect there is a better way of "cating" the files than one-by-one...???
