Question 1

How do I extract certain pages from a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Choose "Extract a range", type the pages you want - for example 1-3, 7, 12- - and click Split. You get a single PDF containing exactly those pages.

Question 2

Can I split a PDF into several smaller files at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. "Every N pages" cuts the document into equal chunks, and "One file per page" gives you a separate PDF for every page. Both come back as a single zip.

Question 3

What does a page range like "12-" mean?

Accepted Answer

An open-ended range: page 12 through to the end. You can also write 1-3 for the first three pages, 9-4 to mean the same as 4-9, and combine them with commas.

Question 4

Does splitting reduce the quality of the pages?

Accepted Answer

No. The pages are copied across untouched, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution - nothing is re-encoded.
