Split big/long PDF files by page numbers

Actually, this script is not splitting the PDF file, but it is creating a new PDF file for every n pages of the original PDF file.

You can specify the number of pages per file in the script, lines 44-45:

# split pdfs every n pages
PAGES_PER_PDF = 2

There is no log file written. But the script will print out the progress in the console.
