Hes" it.s doable. %owever" +.m on vaction right now and + do not have access to my wor@ computer which has all the needed tools to write code. What you can do right now is to create a function that returns a hashtable or a dictionary with the file names -string/ being the @eys and the pages to e*tract -integer array/ being the values. $nce you have this hashtable3dictionary" you can modify the 8*tract df age sub such that it will create a single new pdf file and then loop trhu the hashtable3dictionary to e*tract the pages and add them o the output pdf. +t.s Dust a matter of setting up the loop right such that in each loop" you read an entry and e*tract pages from that file. +f you can wait until later this wee@ when + return to wor@" + can try to come up with something for you in code. 6est regards" #tanav.

+ don.t @now anyway to set passwords to the splitted pdf.s on the fly. %owever" you can certainly do it on a ,nd pass. 1st pass0 split the pdf as usual. ,nd pass0 use df8ncryptor.8ncrypt method to set the user and3or owner passwords to those newly spliited pdfs. Hou can do this in a separate method after done splitting or you can set the password to each splitted pdf right after it is created. &he ,nd approach is preferred. +t.s Dust a few e*tra line of codes. +f you have trouble figuring it out" let me @now.

F"at #e "a7e to resol7e t"e issueAA T"anks
1. Hou need to @now the owner password of the pdf you.re wor@ing on. ,. ;se the ,nd overload of the dfOeader class contructor which allows you to supply the owner password as a byte array when you create a pdfreader obDect. #omething li@e this0 Code0
Dim ownerPwd As String = "put the owner password here" Dim pwdBytes() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(o Dim reader As New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader(sourcePDF, pwdBy
&he rest of the code is the same. (. +f you forget the owner password for some reason" you will have to remove all restrictions on that pdf using the OemoveOestrictions method and save the new unrestricted pdf to a temp location. Hou then can wor@ on that temporary unrestricted pdf as normal. When done" delete it if you don.t want to @eep it.
