Shortcuts to split .pdf
I am trying to get a Shortcut split a specific pdf and then save it to my desktop folder SPLIT DOC.
Can't seem to find a way to get the Shortcut to ask for which .pdf I want to split and then proceed.
Currently, I have to open the Shortcut, choose the pdf and then run it.
I'd like for Shortcuts to ask which pdf I want and proceed automatically when the Shortcut is clicked.
Thanks

Got it using receive PDFs input from Quick Actions
Here is the Shortcut to do this, and on the move action, change the PDF folder destination to your SPLIT_DOC folder. In the Finder, you would right-click on the PDF to split and choose the Shortcut name from the Quick Actions menu listing.
Hi,
Perhaps I need to post this separately, but will try here.
I have this Shortcut that works in Sequoia.
Since my objective is to split pdfs to a folder XXXX on my desktop, I would also like the Shortcut to delete whatever is in the folder (if anything) before the Quick action starts. I split many pdfs and have no need for previous pdf splits, though if Privacy and Security wants to ask permission to delete that's fine.
This Shortcut is fine, but would like to combine it with one above and can't figure how to make it happen.
So, in the end all XXXX files prior to the current Quick Action would be removed and only the current Quick Action (split pdfs) would exist in XXXX
I realize this is a bit different than the original post.
Thanks much
I think I got it after too many hours :)
Adding the delete shortcut right after Quick Action does it.
So the name of the 2nd Shortcut above is DEELETE:
Once again, thanks for your help
