2 things I'm trying to do

From: Phil l'ancien on 15 Dec 2009 14:26 Hi 2 things I'm trying to do, any help or advice very welcome : A- "Printing" to one page pdf documents There are several free software that can "print to pdf" : one uses them just as if they were real printers, and they produce a nice pdf file instead of printed paper. Do you know one that can produce one pdf file for every page ? eg : you've got a 2 pages word document. when you "print" it to pdf, you get 2 pdf documents, one for each page. B- Taming process disk usage There are several free software that can help manage one's PC CPU usage (some work by dynamically lowering the priority of the processes that use more than x% of the CPU). Do you know if a similar utility exists that can manage not only CPU usage, but also disk IO ? Even a low priority process can render a PC othewise unusable if it does intensive disk IO (especially with USB hard disks). Phil l'ancien-

It is a serious mistake to try to 'manage' resource allocation. You are working against the operating system, and that's not a good idea. In addition, software applications do not know your 'improvements.' --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est On 12/15/2009 2:26 PM, Phil l'ancien wrote: > Hi > > 2 things I'm trying to do, any help or advice very welcome : > > > A- "Printing" to one page pdf documents > > There are several free software that can "print to pdf" : one uses > them just as if they were real printers, and they produce a nice pdf > file instead of printed paper. > > Do you know one that can produce one pdf file for > every page ? > eg : you've got a 2 pages word document. when you "print" it > to pdf, you get 2 pdf documents, one for each page. > > > B- Taming process disk usage > > There are several free software that can help manage > one's PC CPU usage (some work by dynamically lowering > the priority of the processes that use more than x% of the CPU). > > Do you know if a similar utility exists that can manage not only > CPU usage, but also disk IO ? > Even a low priority process can render a PC othewise unusable > if it does intensive disk IO (especially with USB hard disks). > > > > > Phil l'ancien- > > > >

From: shawn on 16 Dec 2009 15:05 I use CUTE PDF. I can just say print page 1. Then say print page 2. Kind of cumbersome and annoying if you have many pages, though. I don't ever find myself needing this feature, so it doesn't bother me.

Tedious if you have lots of pages, though. I am intrigued: why do you need this procedure? Final thought: maybe you could split the PDF afterwards; I don't know of any (so I don't know if they can be configured to _automatically_ split individual pages), but I'd be surprised if PDF splitters don't exist.
