  • Split by text finds the changing value in a box you draw, such as an invoice number.
  • Split by bookmarks cuts at the chapters your PDF already defines.
  • Pages and In half run in your browser, so those files never leave your device.

How do I split a PDF by document today?

To split a batch of invoices, letters or statements today, open Split PDF by text and draw a box around the value that changes, such as an invoice number. Each new value starts a new file, and the files are named after the value.

How do I split a PDF by chapter or section?

If your PDF has bookmarks, Split PDF by bookmarks creates one file per chapter at the level you choose. Without bookmarks, Split PDF can cut at the page ranges you type.
