A simple shellscript for splitting the PDF of a paper into the main body and an appendix.
This isn't exactly rocket science, but it's something I have to do frequently enough when submitting academic papers that I figured it's worth semi-automating. Hopefully you find it saves you a few minutes each time too!
Simply clone the repo, move/rename the script to your somewhere on your $PATH, and make it executable. For example:
git clone [email protected]:egrefen/splitappendix.git
cd splitappendix
chmod +x splitappendix.sh
echo ln -s `pwd`/splitappendix.sh ~/.local/bin/splitappsplitapp path_to_paper.pdf first_page_of_appendixThis assumes you've named the script splitapp and put it in your path.
Once run, the files submission.pdf and appendix.pdf will be put in the same directory as the target paper.
