Meta Description:
Need to break down large PDFs for archiving? Here's how I use VeryDOC PS2PDF to split PDFs into single-page filesfast, clean, and stress-free.
Every document-heavy department has this headache...
You know that feeling when someone dumps a 200-page PDF on your desk and asks you to "just split it into individual pages for our archive"?
Yeah, been there.
It happened to me a few months back. I was handed a pile of PostScript filessome of them converted PDFs, some nativeand was told they needed to be broken into single-page documents for record-keeping. Manual tools weren't cutting it. Too slow, too clunky, and error-prone.
I needed something fast. Something that just worked.
That's when I found the VeryDOC Postscript to PDF Converter Command Line. And honestly, it's been my go-to ever since.
What is VeryDOC PS2PDF?
It's a no-nonsense command-line tool that converts PostScript (PS) and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files into PDFs.
But here's the kicker:
It can burst full PDFs into single-page PDFs.
That's exactly what I needed.
And because it doesn't rely on Ghostscript or any printer drivers, it's wicked fast.
No bloated installations. No Acrobat dependencies. Just a lightweight EXE you run in your terminal.
Who's this for?
If you deal with large volumes of PostScript files, scanned docs, or print files, this tool's for you.
Perfect fit for:
-
Legal teams managing scanned contracts
-
Healthcare admins splitting patient records
-
Finance departments archiving invoices
-
IT pros running automated scripts on Windows servers
-
Anyone with a backlog of PS/EPS files needing clean PDFs

Step 2: Run the burst command
Here's what I used:
Boom. One 200-page PDF split into 200 perfectly named single-page files.
Zero errors. No empty pages. And it was done in under 60 seconds.
Bonus: Remove junk pages automatically
One of the handiest flags?
When I ran this, PS2PDF scanned through and deleted all empty pages. Saved me hours of manual review.
Lock it down
Need to password-protect each output file?
Try this:
With a single line, I locked all single-page PDFs with 128-bit encryption.
