How to Split a PDF into Separate Files

Step by Step

1. Make a backup copy of the original document before making major or irreversible changes.
2. Open the PDF in a tool that supports page extraction or splitting, select the pages, and save the new PDF files.
3. Review the output carefully, including page order, formatting, images, and text.
4. Save the result with a new filename until you are sure it is correct.

If That Doesn't Work

• Exact menu names differ between Adobe Acrobat/Reader, Microsoft Office, browsers, macOS, Windows, and third-party applications.
• For confidential documents, avoid uploading files to an unknown online converter; use trusted software or services.
