Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract non-consecutive pages from a PDF?

Yes. Click individual pages to select them, or use the range input box. For example, typing "1, 3, 7-10" selects pages 1, 3, and 7 through 10 in one step.

Will splitting a PDF affect image or text quality?

No. Pages are copied directly from the original without any re-encoding, so quality is identical to the source.

Can I split a PDF into multiple separate files in one go?

Not in a single step — but you can run the split tool multiple times, selecting different pages each time, to produce as many separate files as you need.

How do I select a large range of pages quickly?

Type the range directly into the range input box below the page thumbnails — for example "1-50" — then click Apply. You can also Shift+click to select from one page to another.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

You need to unlock it first. Use the Unlock PDF tool to remove the password, then come back and split the unlocked version.
