I'm trying to use PDF::API2 to turn a pdf document into many.
I am doing one doc out per page.
Thus, if the source is file.pdf, I want file_page1.pdf file_page2.pdf etc.

This is my test script.. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use PDF::API2;

my $file_in = $ARGV[0];

my $prepend = $ARGV[1];
$prepend ||= 'out';

my $pdf_in = PDF::API2->open($file_in) or die;

my $count = $pdf_in->pages;

for my $i ( 0 .. ( $count - 1 )){ 
   my $_i = ($i+1);

   my $file_out = "$file_in.$_i.pdf";

   my $pdf_out = PDF::API2->new or die;

   $pdf_out->importpage( $pdf_in, $_i ) or die;

   $pdf_out->saveas($file_out) or die;
   
   print STDERR "saved $file_out\n";

}

exit;

What's bugging me is that I get a PDF::API2 error.. 

leo@pony devel$ ./t/00bust.pl ./t/scan1.pdf 
Can't call method "outfilt" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/PDF/API2/Util.pm line 688.

Is this a possible bug, or am I doing this wrong?
I tried a few different pdf sources, same trouble. Here's one pdf source I tried: http://web.aces.uiuc.edu/vista/pdf_pubs/ICESTORM.PDF

I have the latest PDF::API2 from cpan.

Update

Failure happens on i386 machine.

I tested on x86_64 machine with PDF::API2 version 2.006, worked. I updated to version 2.015, tried again and it worked fine- still. Must be something else then- a dep.. ..
