Pages
Split a PDF
Two jobs really. Extract a specific set of pages into one new document, or burst the whole thing into single-page files. Both keep the original untouched.

How to write a page range
The field accepts a comma-separated list. A plain number takes one page. Two numbers with
a dash take everything between them, inclusive. Leave one side of the dash off and it runs
to the start or the end of the document, so 9- means page nine onwards.
Leaving the field empty means every page.
The order you type is the order you get. Entering 5,1,3 produces a three
page document in that sequence, which is a quick way to reorder a short file without
reaching for a dedicated tool.
Common questions
How do I extract one page from a PDF?
Type the page number on its own, leave the mode on extract, and press split. You will get a single-page document containing exactly that page.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. The page objects are copied across whole, with their fonts and images intact. Nothing is re-rendered or recompressed.
Why did my 200-page burst only give me a few downloads?
Browsers throttle rapid successive downloads and some block them after the first few. The files are spaced out deliberately, but for very large bursts, extract in batches of twenty or so instead.
