corehr-pdf-split 1.0.2

Split a CoreHR PDF application pack into multiple individual PDF applications.

CoreHR Application Pack PDF Splitter

A Python package to extract individual applications from a combined PDF file, such as for Oxford HR application packs.

Installation and Usage

Option 1: Using uvx (Recommended)

If you have uv installed, you can run the tool directly without installing it:

uvx corehr-pdf-split --input-pdf applicationspack.pdf --output-dir output

Option 2: Install from PyPI

Install the package globally or in a virtual environment:

pip install corehr-pdf-split

Then run:

corehr-pdf-split --input-pdf applicationspack.pdf --output-dir output

Option 3: Using uv (for development or local use)

uv tool install corehr-pdf-split

Then run:

corehr-pdf-split --input-pdf applicationspack.pdf --output-dir output

How it works

The tool processes the input PDF file and saves individual applications in the specified output directory. The output folder will be created if it does not exist yet. Each applicant's PDF is saved with a filename format: LastName,FirstName [ApplicantID].pdf.

Example

uvx corehr-pdf-split --input-pdf applicationspack.pdf --output-dir output

This will process the applicationspack.pdf file and save individual applications in the output directory.
