Figure 1. Setup Page Transitions Action Options
•Click All Options to view/edit all options. The Split Pages dialog box will open, as detailed below.

Figure 2. Split Pages Dialog Box
•Percentage is the default method used to split pages. Clear the Use relative offset values box to use metric measurements instead.
•Click Add Horizontal Split and/or Add Vertical Split at the top of the preview pane to add splits to documents. Splits are inserted at 50% by default and will appear in the preview pane and the list of splits when these options are used. Click and drag to reposition splits as desired.
•Use the plus and minus zoom icons to edit the view of the preview pane.
•Click Edit Split/Remove Split to edit/remove selected splits in the list of splits.
•Select the Use Right To Left splitting method box to split documents from right to left. Note that the order in which documents are split determines the order of sections in the split document.
•Select the Remove source pages after splitting them to remove the original document from the active pane when pages are split. If this box is cleared then both the original document and the split pages will be present after pages are split.
•Select an option from the Select split method dropdown menu to determine the method used to split documents:
•Change the physical size of the pages adjusts the size of pages in order to split them.
•Redefine the visible area (crop box) of the pages adjusts the crop box of pages. Further information about crop boxes is available here. When this option is used the Preserve original content box is available. If this option is enabled then the visible page area will be reduced, but the cropped content will remain available and be present if, for example, pages are resized subsequently.
•The Page Range settings are as follows:
•Select All to split all the pages of the document.
•The Current Page and Selected Pages options are not currently available. They will be available in a future build.
•Use the Pages box to determine specific pages of the document to be split. Further information on the specification of page ranges is available here. Use the Subset option to select All Pages, Odd Pages Only or Even Pages Only for page ranges specified in the Pages number box.
