How to Split a PDF into Separate Files

Extract selected pages or page ranges from a PDF.

Quick Answer

Use a PDF application's Extract/Split function, or print selected pages to a PDF printer when appropriate.

Step by Step

  1. Open the PDF.
  2. Identify the pages you need.
  3. Use the application's Split, Extract, or Organize Pages feature.
  4. Choose the page or page range.
  5. Save the extracted pages as a new PDF.
  6. Verify the new file before deleting or changing the original.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Printing selected pages to PDF can flatten some interactive features.
  • Protected PDFs may restrict page extraction.
