How to use it
Drop in the PDF
The page count and size show straight away.
Type the pages you want
Ranges and single pages, separated by commas: 1-3, 7, 10-12. Or choose every page as its own file.
Split and download
One file for a range; several files when you split every page.
Split a PDF: common questions
Can I take pages from the middle?
Yes. Type any mix of ranges and single pages. They come out in page order.
Will the pages look the same?
Yes. Pages are copied whole, with their text and images. Links to websites keep working; links and form fields that reach pages left out of the new file are removed, so those pages can't come along hidden. Nothing is re-rendered or lowered in quality.
Why did 'every page' download so many files?
That's what it does: a 40-page PDF becomes 40 files. Your browser may ask once whether to allow multiple downloads. If you only need a few pages, use the range option instead.
