Why Split PDF Files?

Splitting PDFs allows you to extract specific pages, divide large documents into manageable sections, or separate combined files. It's essential for document management and sharing specific content.

Common Splitting Scenarios

  • Extract Specific Pages: Pull out only the pages you need from a large document.
  • Separate Chapters: Divide a book or manual into individual chapters for easier navigation.
  • Remove Unwanted Content: Create a version without cover pages, appendices, or sensitive information.
  • Share Selectively: Send only relevant pages to different recipients.

After Splitting

Once you have your extracted pages, you can merge them with other documents or reorganize the page order as needed.
