How to Split a PDF into Multiple Files (Step-by-Step Guide)

Page Extraction: A Common Need

It's common for a PDF document to contain disparate information. For example, a complete user manual where you only need the troubleshooting chapter, or a contract where only the signature page needs to be returned.

How to Use PurePDF's Split Tool

Our split interface is designed for ultra-precision. You can enter page ranges (e.g. 1-5) or isolated pages (e.g. 3, 7, 10).

1. Import your document.
2. Specify the desired pages in the text field.
3. Confirm: each range will generate a separate PDF file.
