Split PDF with Zero padding SOLVED

[dasy2k1]

Hi I need to split some large multi page PDFs into one page files
the Merge/split tool seems to do this fine (split every 1 page) with one issue,
the ouput is

filename-1.pdf
filename2.pdf
.....
filename-9.pdf
filename-10.pdf
.....
filename-99.pdf
filename-100.pdf
and so on

the problem is that I then need to feed the output into another script that cant cope correctly with these names and reads them in the order
1, 10, 100, 101, 102..... 109, 11, 110, 111, 112 .... 119, 12, 120 .... 19, 191 ... 199, 2, 20, 200, and so on. which isnt helpful

what i want to do is name the output files with sufficient zero padding to cover the number of pages.

so i get
filename-001.pdf
filename-002.pdf

but i cant figure out what setting i need to do to get this

[Ovg]

or use %[FileName]-%[Page:3]

Thanks for that, its working well enough for now

be nice though if there was an automatic way of getting the right number based on the %[pages] value so 1-9 gives :1 10-99 gives :2 100-999 gives :3 1000-9999 gives :4 and so on automatically

Hello Dasy,

Glad to hear that OVG's suggestion works for you.
Unfortunately there isn't such an "auto add the necessary number of leading zeroes" macro.

Hello Dasy,

If you will use this macro for filename(without explicit setting number of digits): "%[FileName]-%[AutoNumber]", Save Document tool will automaticaly choose number of digits for %[AutoNumber] based on amount of documents that you are saving.

For example, if you want to split document that have 100 pages by 1 page, you will get 100 output documents and %[AutoNumber] macro result will have 3 digits.
