I am using the same MacBook Pro, but the os is High Sierra.

The PDF is 300 pages, so maybe that could be a problem. But when I try to divide it up in OS X Preview, the PDF size gets ten times larger.

Thanks!

I can't help you make Briss work. It has not been supported for quite a while now. But if your document is "2-up" you can crop to individual pages with k2pdfopt like so:

k2pdfopt -mode crop -grid 2x1x0 myfile.pdf

The 2x1x0 tells k2pdfopt to break the document into 2 columns by 1 row with 0% overlap. The -mode crop tells it to put each of those grid regions into a new page in the destination document.
