How to split a PDF

Open the document, say where to cut — or which pages to pull out — and download the resulting files. Three needs are settled here with the same tool: cutting a large document into two or three parts, pulling a handful of pages into a file of their own, or bursting a file into as many documents as it has pages. The extracted pages keep their content, their links and their quality, and the original file on your disk is never modified. The pages to extract do not have to follow one another: you can pull pages 2, 5 and 9 into a single document. The split is computed inside your browser, which holds for a thousand-page file as for a two-page invoice. The resulting files carry a name that says where they come from and which pages they hold.

Pulling a single page out of a large document

This is the commonest request, and the one most poorly served elsewhere: pulling a certificate out of an annual statement, an invoice out of a monthly batch, a page of a report to attach to an email. Show the page, pull it out, send it — the rest of the document never leaves your machine. For the reverse operation, merging brings several files into one.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract pages that are not next to each other?

Yes: a range is written the way you would write it by hand, for instance 1-3, 7, 12-14.

Is the original file modified?

No. Splitting produces new files; your original stays exactly as it is on your disk.

Can I get one page per file?

Yes, that is the second mode: each page becomes a file of its own, numbered in order. Handy for handing a document out sheet by sheet.

How do I pull a single page out of a large document?

Give its number as the range: you get a one-page file, and the original stays intact on your disk.

Are the resulting files clearly named?

Each takes the original document’s name, followed by “extract” for a range, or by the page number in page-by-page mode — enough to find them again without opening them one by one.
