How can I split up different-sized pages?
I need to split some pages of a pdf into 5 vertical sections, and other pages into 4 overlapping quadrants.
I've looked online, but however I try to word it, all the results are about splitting *between* pages, not splitting the pages... I am using Mac OS 10.14.6, and have brew, ghostscript, k2pdfopt, the free part of cpdf, qpdf, etc. as well as Mac-specific view and conversion apps. I tend to use Automator with bash shell scripts for conversion, so don't know much about the guis for k2pdfopt. I know there's PdfCropper, but i looks like it's specifically for Windows. |

I think ImageMagick works on all platforms.
Say you have three columns? Run it 3 times with different margin settings. Note on Linux (and maybe Mac) the default security forbids PDF. Reading & writing PDF has different settings. I only enable writing and use The GIMP to convert a PDF at desired resolution to a stack of images then Exported in reverse order as mpng (animated png) for ImageMagick to read. For quadrants you read the same source 4 times with different margins. |

This is exactly what the -grid option in k2pdfopt is for. You can use it for both of the things you wanted to do.

Thanks. With k2, I'd have to run different grid settings for every few pages.
