About Split PDF
What it does
Load a PDF, see its pages, and export the pages you select as a new document. Original page content is copied rather than re-rendered, so text stays selectable.
Who it is for
For anyone who needs one chapter from a long report, a single signed page from a contract pack, or a per-section copy for different recipients.
When to use it
Use it before sharing a document when only part of it is relevant, or to break a large scan into manageable files.

Common problems and fixes
Selected range is off by one
Page numbers here refer to the physical page order in the file, which can differ from printed numbering when the document has a cover or preface.
Output is nearly as large as the original
Shared resources such as embedded fonts are copied into each output file. Run the result through Compress PDF if size matters.

- Keep an untouched copy of the original file before processing, so you can always start over.
- Check the page count and file size in the result card before sending the document on.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Pasting partial PDF pages into separate files or page ranges and assuming the result is wrong — always include the full input.
- Ignoring the status messages in the workspace; they explain exactly what went wrong and where.
- Uploading sensitive PDF pages into separate files or page ranges to random online services — Split PDF never needs to, because it runs on your device.
- Compressing an already-compressed file repeatedly and losing readability.
- Losing the password for a protected document — it cannot be recovered.
