Why Split PDF Files?

Sometimes you don't need an entire PDF document - you just need a few specific pages. Whether you're extracting a chapter from an eBook, removing unwanted pages, or breaking a large document into sections, splitting PDFs is a common need.

Common reasons to split PDFs:

  • Extract one chapter from a textbook
  • Remove cover pages or ads
  • Separate a combined document into individual files
  • Get just the pages you need for submission
  • Remove sensitive pages before sharing
