Why do we need to split a PDF?
Splitting a PDF is the action of dividing a multi-page document into several smaller files, or extracting a specific range of pages. It is the perfect tool when you receive a 100-page report but only want to share pages 12 to 15 with your team.
The advantages of PDF page splitting
- Confidentiality: Only share the non-confidential pages of a comprehensive contract.
- Bypass email limits: If a file is too large, splitting it in two allows you to send it in two separate emails.
- Information targeting: Extract only the chapter you are interested in for smoother reading on a tablet or smartphone.
