PDF Split Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I split by file size instead of pages?
Currently we support splitting by page range. Splitting by size automatically is coming soon.
Q. Are internal bookmarks preserved per split?
Yes. Bookmarks referencing pages within each split range are retained in the output file.
Q. Can I extract just one page?
Yes—enter a single number like 7 and the output will be a 1-page PDF.
Q. Does it output a ZIP for multiple splits?
Yes. When more than 3 output files are generated, they are bundled into a ZIP automatically.
Q. What if pages are scanned (image-only)?
The splitter still works—it operates on PDF structure, not content. OCR is not required.
🔢 Page Range Syntax Guide
Our range input follows industry standard syntax.
| Sorting Type | Example Result | Environment |
|---|---|---|
📏1-5 | Pages 1 to 5 → 1 file | Extract consecutive range |
📍1,3,5 | Pages 1, 3, 5 → 1 file | Select specific pages |
✂️1-3, 7-9 | 1-3 and 7-9 → 1 file each | Multi-file split (Total 2) |
🌓odd / even | All odd or even pages | Full document filtering |
Using a comma (,) to separate ranges will generate multiple files. You can use "n" or "last" keywords to specify the end page.
