Splitting a longer document into multiple files with cross-references

      I created a PDF workbook for a client who also wants to split it into individual modules to sell separately. I created it as one long document, partially because I’ve never worked in the multiple-documents-in-a-book setup (need to go back to the sessions from last year’s Creative Pro Week and really school myself on it). To split it into modules, I was planning on saving out the file multiple times and just deleting the extraneous pages, but because the content creates cross references between the modules, I am curious if there’s a smarter way to go about that.

      If I create multiple documents within a book, will I be able to easily identify when cross references are in a different document and set those up to be text that reads “in module 3, sold separately” with a link to a website?

      Or is it just as easy to pull the pieces apart into separate files and see where the references break and go find them by hand and add that text/link myself? We’re talking maybe 50 references, so it’s not the end of the world to do that, but I’m very curious as to what my options are!

      Thanks in advance for your help!

      You can do it with “Organize pages” within Adobe Acrobat.

      Oh, I’ll need to renumber pages and add individual TOCs in InDesign so I prefer not to chop the file up in Acrobat, but thank you!
