How to split a PDF

Split when you need one chapter, a signature page, or each page as its own file. Page numbers are the numbers you would see in a reader, starting at 1.

  1. Open Split PDF Add one PDF. The page shows how many pages it has.
  2. Choose a mode Save every page as its own PDF, or type ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-9.
  3. Check the ranges Each number has to exist in that PDF. A range runs from the first number through the last.
  4. Download One range downloads as a single PDF. Several ranges download as a zip.

Splitting does not recompress the pages. If you also need a smaller file, use Compress PDF afterward and read its note about text selection.
