Choose the right way to split a PDF

Splitting is useful when one PDF contains several independent documents or when you need to send different page ranges to different people. Use a custom range such as 1-3, 5, 7-10 when you know exactly which pages belong together, or use the automatic every-N-pages option for repeated sections.

If you only need a few selected pages in one new PDF, Extract Pages is simpler. If your goal is to remove unwanted pages while keeping the rest as one document, use Delete Pages instead.

  • Ranges are inclusive of both endpoints. So 1-3 means pages 1, 2, and 3.
  • Bookmarks and form fields are not preserved.
