How to Split a PDF or Pull Out Specific Pages
Take the three pages you need out of a sixty page document without a desktop editor.
About Split PDF — Free Online Tool
Split PDF pulls pages out of a PDF — either a range you specify as one new document, or every page as its own file, returned as a ZIP.
The pages you ask for are copied into a new document along with the objects they reference — fonts, images, annotations — and a fresh cross-reference table is written. Nothing is re-encoded, so an extracted page is identical to the one in the original rather than a picture of it.
The split runs in the page, so a document you are extracting one page from is never uploaded in full.
Sending one invoice from a combined statement, separating a batch scan back into individual letters, pulling a single chapter out of a long report, and extracting the pages someone actually asked for.
