How to split a PDF or pull out pages, offline

Pick pages with a range

Write the pages you want as 1-3,5,8-. A dash after a number means to the end. Out-of-range pages and typos should be rejected with a clear message rather than guessed.

One file or many

Taking pages 2-3 gives one new PDF. If every range should be its own file, such as 1-3,4-6,7-, you get one file per range, packaged in a ZIP so you download once.

Splitting by size of part

To cut a long document into equal parts, use every N pages. For example, a 40-page file with N=10 gives four files.

Keep the original

Splitting makes new files and leaves the original untouched. Check the first and last page of each part before you send them on.
