Splitting PDFs into multiple documents



You can split one or more documents into multiple smaller documents. When splitting a document, you can specify the split by maximum number of pages, maximum file size, or by top-level bookmarks.

Split one or more PDFs, with an open document

  1. Open the PDF and choose Document > Split Document.
  2. In the Split Document dialog box, specify the criteria for dividing the document:
    Number Of Pages
    Specify the maximum number of pages for each document in the split.

    File Size
    Specify the maximum file size for each document in the split.

    Top-level Bookmarks
    If the document includes bookmarks, creates one document for every top-level bookmark.

  3. To specify a target folder for the split files and filename preferences, click Output Options. Specify the options as needed, and then click OK.
  4. (Optional) To apply the same split to multiple documents, click Apply To Multiple. Click Add Files, and choose Add Files, Add Folders, or Add Open Files. Select the files or folder, and then click OK.

Split one or more PDFs, with no document open

  1. Choose Document > Split Document.
  2. Click Add Files, and choose Add Files, Add Folders. Select the files or folder, and then click OK.
  3. Follow steps 2 and 3 in the procedure for splitting documents with a document open.
