Split a PDF by page ranges

Yes. Put each desired output group on its own line, using individual pages and ranges such as 2, 5-8. That line becomes one PDF containing the selected pages in document order. Add another line for each additional output file. Page numbers must exist in the source, reversed ranges are invalid, and duplicate page references within a group are removed. Before splitting a long document, identify section boundaries and check pages around each boundary so headings, signatures, tables, or attachments are not separated unintentionally.

Extract the downloaded ZIP and compare the number of PDF files with the number of requested groups, or with the source page count when creating one file per page. Open the first and last page of every group and verify that its page count, order, orientation, and content match the range entered. Check forms, links, outlines, and annotations when they matter because splitting copies selected pages into new documents and some interactive relationships can be lost.

When the group field is empty, the tool creates one separate PDF for every source page and packages the results together for download. This is useful for distributing individual forms, slides, receipts, labels, or scanned pages. A long document can therefore produce many output files, so check the source page count first and prepare a destination folder. If you need sections rather than individual pages, enter explicit groups so related pages remain together.

Password-protected PDFs are not supported. Selected pages are copied into new output files, and forms, outlines, internal links, attachments, scripts, or annotations that depend on the complete source may not remain connected. Empty group input creates one file per page, which can produce many downloads. Verify each range, output count, boundary page, searchable text, and interactive feature before distributing the split documents.

Yes. Every PDF action listed in this section is free to use, requires no signup, and does not add a PetexSpace watermark. The tools have different input requirements and limitations, so open the exact action and review its page selection, supported image type, output behavior, and document warning before starting. Keep the original PDF until the result has been opened, checked page by page, and tested in the reader or workflow that will receive it.
