I have a project that includes 2 chapters and when I compile the main program it combines the pdf's of these two into one single file. How can I configure it to print to separate pdf's ?

That's just how it is. You can't configure (La)TeX to produce two separate PDFs. – Werner Sep 11 '14 at 04:25

...for example, see Splitting(!) one LaTeX document into two PDF outputs including references where the suggestion is to make two "equivalent" files full.tex (say fullA.tex and fullB.tex) which you compile independently in order to produce two separate outputs. However, this is essentially the same as "one input > one output" and not "one input > two outputs". – Werner Sep 11 '14 at 04:47
Why not just use pdftk to split the output in two? – Ian Thompson Sep 11 '14 at 07:23

When I had a similar requirement - to produce a PDF with n chapters, and n PDFs each with one chapter - I used a perl script that I called from Build/Define Output Profiles/Postprocessor. It's possible my script used pdftk, I don't recall. – Evyn Sep 11 '14 at 12:27
@Werner That Link really helped. I think that's the optimum way of achieving what I required. – Rene Duchamp Sep 15 '14 at 18:22
