What is PDF Splitting?
Splitting a PDF means dividing one document into smaller files by selecting specific pages or ranges. It’s useful when you only need part of a file, want to reorganize documents, or need to share specific sections without sending the entire PDF.
Why Split PDFs?
- Extract chapters: Get a specific section of a report or book without the whole file.
- Reorganize content: Rearrange and separate documents for new uses.
- Share efficiently: Send only the needed pages instead of heavy PDFs.
- Save storage: Keep smaller, focused PDFs instead of one oversized file.
Split PDF - Complete Guide
Splitting PDFs is a common need when working with large files, lengthy reports, or collections of scanned pages. PDF99’s Split PDF tool lets you quickly select pages, define ranges, and export them into new documents. It’s simple, secure, and runs directly in your browser.
Best practices
- Preview pages: Ensure you’re selecting the correct sections before splitting.
- Use ranges: Define continuous page ranges to keep related content together.
- Combine after split: Extract sections first, then merge again if you need custom arrangements.
- Compress after split: Reduce the file size of exported PDFs for easier sharing.
When to use
Split PDFs when sharing specific chapters, separating invoices, archiving large scanned documents, or reorganizing multi-section files. It’s especially useful for academic, business, and legal workflows where only part of a document is required.
