Splitting Methods Explained

Extract specific page ranges. Example: "1-5,10-15,20-25" creates 3 files with pages 1-5, 10-15, and 20-25 respectively.

Divide the PDF into files with a fixed number of pages each. Example: Setting "5" pages per file on a 12-page document creates 3 files (5+5+2 pages).

Split each page into its own separate PDF file. A 10-page document becomes 10 individual 1-page PDFs.

Extract only the pages you specify. Example: "1,3,7,12" creates a single file containing only pages 1, 3, 7, and 12 from the original.

Separate even-numbered pages from odd-numbered pages. Useful for documents that need to be printed double-sided.
