How to Split a PDF Into Separate Files

Updated 2026-09-17 · 2 min read

Splitting matters when you need to send one section of a document and nothing else — a single invoice out of a monthly batch, one report chapter, one signed page.

Done properly, each output keeps its fonts and quality.

Extracting a range

Select the pages you want and export them as a new document. The source file is untouched, and the extract keeps the original text, fonts and any form fields on those pages.

Splitting a batch

For a bundle of separate documents merged into one file, work through it once noting where each starts, then extract each range in turn.

Privacy benefit

Sending only the relevant pages is simpler and safer than redacting an entire document you did not need to share.

Frequently asked

Is the original changed?
