Usage Example

Save this file as main.tex

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}

\section{Document 1}
\pdfbookmark[0]{file:file1}{file:file1}

This is Document 1

\newpage

\section{Document 2}
\pdfbookmark[0]{file:file2}{file:file2}

This is Document 2

\newpage

\section{End of Document}
\pdfbookmark[0]{file:bogus}{file:bogus}

This is necessary to avoid a bug. The program fails to create the last document.

\end{document}

Run pdf-splitter:

$ pdflatex main.tex
$ mkdir out
$ pdf-splitter main.pdf out/
$ ls out/
file1.pdf file2.pdf

Ensure that each \pdfbookmark is on a new page. If you use \chapter, that takes care of it.
