It means that the PDF file with the article is large in size (greater than 1 Mb).

The following commands are recommended for recombining split sections of a binary file after decoding and saving each part as a separate binary file.

  • MS-DOS or WINDOWS or SIMILAR operating system(s):
            copy /b file_xxx.014+file_xx.013+...+file_xxx.001 file.xxx
    

  • Linux or other Unix or similar operating system(s):
            cat file_xxx.014 file_xxx.013 ... file_xxx.001 > file.xxx
    
    Note: It is important to list the splitted parts in decreasing order.

  • Other operating system(s):
    You can use a binary copy program or a binary editor to join the separate parts.
