  3. Type the pages (for example 1-3, 5, 8-) or click pages in the preview.
  4. Click Split PDF. Several files download together as a ZIP.

Page range examples

  • 1-3, 5 – pages 1, 2, 3 and 5.
  • 8- – page 8 to the end.
  • 1-4, 5-8, 9- (split by ranges) – three separate PDFs.
  • Every 1 page – each page saved as its own PDF.
