Splitting Large Documents into Small Documents of desired Size

"a large document" is not a lot of detail for this use case.  large what?  PDF? image? word file? video?

The only thing I know of which Appian can easily handle for this is a PDF, which the PDF tools has utilities to split (by page) into separate files, and separately, has a utility to compress (which can dramatically reduce filesize on PDFs containing inefficiently-large images, etc).  But please be forewarned that even with the PDF Tools plug-in, you aren't getting a "magic wand" that can insta-solve your use cases; you'll need to figure out how to work within its framework and come up with a workable solution for the tools it provides.

Hi Mike, Thank you

by "a large document", I meant a large Text Document

"text document" like plaintext, ".txt"?  How large is it?  What parameters would you be splitting it by? 

The "text file utilities" plug-in has a rule that can read text from a text file.  The appian base product has a utility called "text doc from template" which can create new text files with arbitrary input text.  Combining these two things, and providing your own logic for where/how to split your input text file, you should be able to accomplish what you're after, assuming the above assumptions are correct.

hi Mike,

Thanks a lot, i was talking about "text document", and we cannot use "readtextfromfile" plugin as the text document is large, around 600 MB. We are looking at a way to split the document, so that we can read the data from the text documents.

Is this just one document, one time?  Or are you trying to have your system automatically deal with a regular feed of 600MB text documents that'll always be different?
