FAQ
What are the three ways to split?
One file per page is the literal reading of "split" and gives you as many files as there are pages. One file every N pages is for documents with a regular structure — a stack of two-page invoices, a booklet printed four to a signature. By ranges is for everything else: type 1-12, 13-40 and you get two files with those pages, in the order you listed them — or tick the box under it to get those same ranges back as a single PDF, which is how you lift two separate sections out of a contract in one pass. Whichever you pick, the page count of the result is stated before you press the button.
Why is one-page-per-file so much bigger than I expected?
Because each page brings its fonts with it. A page that uses a Chinese typeface needs that whole embedded font in its own file, and no amount of splitting divides a font in two. On a 307-page manual we measured 40 single-page files summing to 9.80 MB, where those same 40 pages account for roughly 0.41 MB of the original. Splitting the same document in half, by contrast, cost only 8% — 3.41 MB against 3.17 MB. If the total size matters to you, split into a few parts rather than into pages.
How are the files named?
After the original, with the pages appended: a file called report.pdf split by page gives report-1.pdf, report-2.pdf and so on, while a 13-40 range gives report-13-40.pdf. Every part is downloadable on its own, and there is a single button that packages the lot as a ZIP when there are several.
Do the parts keep the bookmarks?
Each part keeps the bookmarks whose pages ended up in it, renumbered against that part. A bookmark whose page went into a different part is dropped rather than repointed, because a bookmark that silently lands on the wrong chapter is worse than one that is gone. Internal links are a different matter and still do not survive — the clickable boxes come across, but the destinations they point at are held in a document-level table that cannot be rebuilt from copied pages.
Is there a page limit?
No hard limit on pages, but files cap at 150 MB and the thumbnail grid stops at 300 pages — past that you can still split, you just type the ranges instead of seeing the pages. Time depends on how many pages there are rather than how many megabytes: a 180-page scan of 150 MB opens in about a tenth of a second, while a 14,736-page document of the same size takes roughly 19 seconds.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. Splitting never looks at what is on a page — it moves whole page objects — so a scan with no text layer splits exactly like a text document, and the image quality is untouched. If you also need the words out of that scan, the PDF to text converter reads it on your device.
