The Split Document feature is a process of splitting one or more documents into multiple smaller-size documents.

  1. Open the PDF document you want to split.
  2. Choose Organize > Split > Split Document, or right-click on the target page thumbnails and choose Split… > Split Document in the context menu.
  3. In the Split Document dialog box, choose one of the options for the Split documents by item to specify how you want to split the current PDF document.
  • Number of pages: Set the maximum number of pages for each document generated during the splitting.
  • File Size: Set the maximum file size for each document generated during the splitting.
  • Page Range: Manually type the specific page ranges you want to split the current PDF by.
  • Top-Level Bookmarks: Split by the top-level bookmarks if the current document includes bookmarks. 
  • Blank Page: Split the current PDF document each time a blank page is encountered. Blank pages will be discarded when splitting.
