How it works
Your browser reads the PDF, counts its pages and copies the pages you choose into new documents. Page size, orientation, text and images stay exactly as they were. There are three ways to split:
| Option | Result |
|---|---|
| Extract pages into one PDF | One file with only the pages you list |
| Save every page as a separate PDF | One file per page, in a ZIP |
| Split every N pages | Files of N pages each (the last may be shorter), in a ZIP |
Before you split, the tool tells you how many files and pages it will create, and points out any page number that is outside the document.
Writing page ranges
| You type | Pages |
|---|---|
5 |
Page 5 |
1-3 |
Pages 1, 2 and 3 |
1-3, 5, 9 |
Pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9 |
8- |
Page 8 to the last page |
-4 |
The first four pages |
10-7 |
Pages 10, 9, 8 and 7, in that order |
Commas or semicolons separate ranges, and spaces are ignored.
What is not kept
Bookmarks (the outline in the sidebar), interactive form fields and digital signatures are not carried over to the new files, because they belong to the original document as a whole. The visible content of every page is kept.
