Split PDF

Split a PDF File into multiple PDF Files

Split a PDF document into multiple smaller documents by simply specifying either the number of files, pages per file, or page ranges. Various available options are: (mutually exclusive)

  1. Use the page count to specify the maximum number of pages in each of the output file(s).

  2. Creating smaller PDFs with a set number of pages, you can split PDFs into multiple smaller documents by specifying page ranges where each page range corresponds to a single output file.

  3. Split PDFs by file count. In this case, the operation creates the specified number of files with each containing an identical number of pages (if possible).
