I have a large number of PDF files which have two slides to a page (for printing).

The format is A4 pages each with two slides setup like so:

-----------
| slide 1 |
-----------
| slide 2 |
-----------

How can I generate a new PDF file with one slide per page?

Happy to use GUI, CLI, scripts or even interface with a language's PDF library; but I do need the text on the slides to still be selectable.

PDF Scissors allowed me to bulk split (crop) all pages in a PDF.
