PDF splitter

Often you only need part of a PDF: one chapter of a manual, the signature pages of a contract, a single invoice from a monthly statement or pages to send to a specific person. This splitter extracts page ranges into new PDF files without uploading your document anywhere.

How to use it

1. Select the PDF file.
2. Enter the pages or ranges to extract, such as 1-3, 5 or 8-12.
3. Download the resulting PDF or PDFs.

Examples

• 1-3: a new PDF with pages 1, 2 and 3.
• 4, 7, 9-10: pages 4, 7, 9 and 10, in that order.
• Extract each chapter into its own file by specifying several ranges.

What is preserved

Extracted pages are copied exactly: text remains selectable, images keep their resolution and vector graphics stay sharp. The new file is usually much smaller than the original when you extract only a few pages.

Limitations

• Digital signatures do not carry over as valid; the new file is a different document.
• Links and bookmarks that point to pages outside the extracted range will not work.
• Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked first.
• Page numbers printed on the pages themselves are part of the content and do not renumber.

Tips

• Check page numbers in your PDF viewer; the printed page number may differ from the physical page position because of covers and front matter.
• Combine with the PDF merger to rearrange or assemble documents.
