Yes. That would be the "cat" operation, which "catenates" pages. For example:
pdftk input.pdf cat 1-80 output out1-80.pdf
pdftk input.pdf cat 81-100 output out81-100.pdf
pdftk input.pdf cat 101-500 output out101-500.pdf
The parameter after "cat" is the page range; the parameter after "output" is the name of the PDF file created. Regards, Joe
pdftk input.pdf cat 1-80 output out1-80.pdf
pdftk input.pdf cat 81-100 output out81-100.pdf
pdftk input.pdf cat 101-500 output out101-500.pdf
The parameter after "cat" is the page range; the parameter after "output" is the name of the PDF file created. Regards, Joe

And I can name the output file anything i want?
Yes. The string after the "output" parameter can be any file name you want. If there are spaces in it, enclose the name is quotes, such as:
pdftk input.pdf cat 1-80 output "this is an output file name with spaces.pdf"
Of course, the file type/extension will always be pdf. Regards, Joe
pdftk input.pdf cat 1-80 output "this is an output file name with spaces.pdf"
Of course, the file type/extension will always be pdf. Regards, Joe
