The Problem
I don’t want to use an online PDF splitter, because I don’t feel comfortable uploading my personal information to websites like that, and I’m sure many of you don’t feel comfortable with that either. So, what if I told you there was a better way?
The Solution
You can install a simple package known as pdftk onto Linux (I’m using Ubuntu 22.04.01 LTS) to easily split up a PDF file.
Install the package
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install pdftk
Navigate to the folder that holds your résumé
$ cd ~/your-folder
Use the pdftk module to make a new PDF with just your selected page
$ pdftk original-resume.pdf cat 1 output new-resume.pdf
This command will take the original resume, and copy the first page into a new file called new-resume.pdf
I hope that you found this useful!
