A Simple Guide to Splitting Large PDF Files

Published on: 12 July 2025 | Category: PDF How-To

Sometimes you have a very large PDF file, maybe a 100-page report, but you only need to share one or two pages with someone. Emailing the entire large file is inefficient and can be slow. So, what is the solution? The best way is to 'split' the PDF and extract only the pages you need.

Why Would You Need to Split a PDF?

• To send only specific pages: Share just a single chapter or section instead of the whole document.
• To remove unwanted pages: You can delete blank pages or pages with irrelevant information from a file.
• To create smaller files: If you have a large book, you can split it into smaller chapters for easier reading and management.
