Split Output Options

Overview

Every Split and Extract command carries a shared set of per-output behaviours, reached through the Output... button on its dialog. They apply to every file the command produces and are saved with the command's configurations and .tsp profiles.

Options

OptionDescription
Update links in output files Repairs GoTo links whose destination is stored as a literal page number. Such links still count pages in the original document, so in a split piece they address the wrong page; this option repoints them at the page they became. Links stored as page references are already correct after a split and are left untouched, as are links whose target did not make it into the piece.
Generate HTML index of output files Writes an index.html in the output folder linking to every file the command produced — handy when publishing a large split to a web server or shared folder. (Split by Bookmarks has carried its own HTML index checkbox for years; it keeps it, and this dialog hides the duplicate.)
Write a log file to the output folder Appends a timestamped entry to split-log.txt in the output folder listing every file the run produced.

Note

All three options also work from .tsp profiles run through the command line (fixupLinks, generateHtmlIndex, writeLog keys in the profile's settings).
