Hi Simon,
Though there could some other smarter solution,I have used the following approach to solve this problem.

Assuming we have the contents of the file /tmp/MyNewArticleFile.rtf as ,

cat /tmp/MyNewArticleFile.rtf
HTML Code:
Times of India
Edition-1
Date:27 th May

Document 1 of 20

All blah blah goes here
Ad Page
Blah

================================

Document 2 of 20

All blah blah goes here
Ad Page
Blah

================================

Document 3 of 20

All blah blah goes here
Ad Page
Blah

================================
Document 4 of 20

All blah blah goes here
Ad Page
Blah

================================
End of the Edition
Thanks
Editor
I have written the following script that process the above file to generate the output.
Here the assumption is the Document has 20 Pages.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
let page=1
while [[ page -le 20 ]] ; do
sed -n /Document\ $page/,/==========*/p /tmp/MyNewArticleFile.rtf > /tmp/ArticleSplitPage-$page
((page=page+1))
done

Upon execution of the above script i get 20 pages spilt according to the Document no.

cat /tmp/ArticleSpiltPage-1
HTML Code:
Document 1 of 20

All blah blah goes here
Ad Page
Blah

================================
Thanks,
Nagarajan Ganesan.
