How to Split a PDF into Separate Chapters or Sections

Why Split PDFs?

Large documents are unwieldy. Whether you're sharing a specific section with a colleague or extracting a chapter for study, splitting PDFs is a daily need for many professionals.

Common Use Cases

  • Extract Invoice Pages: Pull individual invoices from a batch export.
  • Share Chapters: Send only the relevant section of a manual.
  • Remove Sensitive Pages: Exclude confidential sections before sharing.
  • Reduce File Size: Smaller files are easier to email and upload.

Methods of Splitting

By Page Range: Extract pages 10-20 from a document.

Into Equal Parts: Divide a 100-page doc into 10 files of 10 pages each.

By File Size: Useful for meeting upload limits.

The Easy Way

Forget about installing Acrobat. Our PDF Splitter handles all these scenarios in your browser, completely free.
