How to Split PDF Files:

PDF splitting is the process of separating a PDF file into multiple PDF files.   A common way to split a PDF file is to extract PDF pages and split the PDF into separate pages.   So, if a PDF contains two pages and it was separated, the result would be two separate PDF files, with each one containing one page from the original PDF.   The term separate PDF or extract PDF is also used to describe splitting PDF files.   The image below shows how to split a PDF document into multiple pages.

Two Separate PDF Files

One PDF files to separate PDF file is split into two separate PDF files   The result is two separate PDF files
  • The PDF File has multiple pages,
    but is one PDF file.
  • The PDF file is split into
    separate individual files.

As shown above, we can extract PDF pages individually into multiple PDF files using a PDF splitter software utility.   Each of these new PDF files contains one page from the original PDF.  Each of these split PDF Files can be merged together since they are now individual files.
