What Split PDF does
Splits a PDF by custom page ranges, or breaks every page out into its own file. Splitting a PDF is useful when only certain pages of a larger document are needed, or when a single scanned batch actually contains several separate documents that should be filed individually. Choose custom page ranges for a few specific sections, or extract every page as its own file when you need each page independently.
