Frequently Asked Questions about PDF Splitting
Is my PDF data secure when using this splitter?
Absolutely. The entire splitting process happens locally in your browser using PDF-Lib. Your file never leaves your computer — no uploads to any server. This makes it perfect for sensitive documents like contracts, medical records, or personal files.
What page range formats are supported?
You can use flexible formats: single pages (e.g., "5"), ranges (e.g., "2-8"), or combinations ("1-3, 7, 10-12"). The tool automatically validates page numbers against your document's total pages. Whitespace is ignored.
Can I split each page into separate PDF files?
Yes! Simply select "Extract each page as separate PDF" mode. However, note that the current version outputs a single merged PDF containing all selected pages. For multiple separate files, you would run the split multiple times. The "custom ranges" mode lets you extract any combination into one PDF.
What's the maximum file size?
Since processing is client-side, limits depend on your device's memory. Most modern computers can handle PDFs up to 200+ pages or 100MB easily. The tool is optimized for efficient memory usage.
Does this tool preserve original formatting?
Yes, PDF-Lib preserves all original content, fonts, images, and vector graphics. The extracted pages maintain exactly the same quality as the original document.
Can I split password-protected PDFs?
Currently, password-protected (encrypted) PDFs cannot be processed. You'll need to unlock them first using appropriate tools. The tool works with standard, unprotected PDF files.
