Split PDF by pages: what it is and when to use it

Splitting by pages lets you pull exactly what you need out of a long document: a single sheet, a chapter, or several ranges at once.

Enter ranges with hyphens and commas, for example 1-3, 7, 10-12, and you get separate files. It is the cleanest way to share one part without showing the rest.

Common uses

Send only the relevant pages of a long document.
Separate a book or manual into chapters.
Pull one invoice out of a scanned batch.
Cut down a file size by splitting it into parts.

Tips for better results

Define ranges with hyphens: 1-3, 7, 10-12.
Keep the original: splitting creates new files.
To reorder pages instead of separating them, use Organize PDF.
