PDF Split: Extract only what you need
When stakeholders request just a handful of pages, there’s no need to send the entire PDF. The Split tool in Tools & News lets you define ranges like 1-3,5 or leave the input blank to export every page individually. Outputs arrive as a ZIP file containing perfectly named PDFs, all processed locally for maximum privacy.
Standout features
- Flexible page syntax for ranges, single pages, or both.
- ZIP delivery keeps downloads tidy and ready to forward.
- No upload caps beyond 100 MB per PDF, so even large manuals split smoothly.
- Works offline-friendly when paired with the Dockerized stack on your droplet.
Steps
- Open
/tool/pdf-split. - Upload the PDF (≤ 100 MB).
- Enter page ranges like
2-5,7or leave blank to split every page. - Click Split PDF.
- Download the ZIP archive.
Tips
- Combine with PDF Merge to reorder sections before splitting.
- If you only need one page, specify it directly to avoid large archives.
- Use PDF Compress afterward when sending ZIPs via email.
