Extract the report without the receipt
Open both practice PDFs and move the receipt into the middle, making A, C, B. Choose Custom ranges and enter 1,3 on one line. Reopen the saved two-page PDF to check that only the report pages remain.
ToolsNow practice files with fictional details, free to download and reuse.
How to use
Choose PDFs. Open the document and identify the pages in the previews. You can rearrange them before splitting.
Choose Split method. Pick Every page as a separate PDF, Groups of N pages or Custom ranges. For just the checked pages, choose Extract selected pages into one PDF.
Check the output summary. Confirm the number of PDFs and output pages. Enter Download name, then Prepare download.
Save and check. Download the PDF or ZIP and open the results. Check the first and last page of each file, especially after rearranging pages.
Questions
How do I write custom ranges?
Use one line per output PDF. For example, put 1-3 on the first line and 4,6 on the second to make two files. Numbers refer to the current workspace order, not printed page labels. Invalid or out-of-range entries are reported.
Can I put the same page in two outputs?
Yes, repeat its number on different range lines. Within a line, pages are included once in their current visual order. The workspace limits an export to 500 output pages in total, including pages repeated across files.
Why did I get a ZIP?
A single result downloads as a PDF; several results are packaged in one ZIP. Extract the ZIP to get the separate PDFs. Check their page counts and headings before sending them on.
Does splitting preserve the text?
Pages are copied as PDF content, so an existing text layer remains rather than becoming a picture. Bookmarks, attachments, internal links and accessibility structure may not carry over correctly. Protected PDFs and interactive form or signature fields need preparation in a PDF editor.
Are my PDFs uploaded?
Splitting happens locally in your browser. Loading the page and processing code still uses network requests. The workspace allows up to 500 source pages and 100 MB of source files, but smaller batches can be easier on your device.
Examples and checks
Choose individual pages, equal-sized groups or custom ranges. Range numbers refer to the current page order in the workspace, which may differ from the page numbers printed in the document.
Extract an introduction and appendix
Input or situation
A five-page PDF in its original order; one custom range: 2,4-5
Result
One PDF containing pages 2, 4 and 5.
Enter one range per line for each output file. A cover still counts as page 1, even if it has no printed number.
Before you use the result
Check the page previews before downloading, particularly if you have rearranged the document. Multiple output PDFs are packaged in a ZIP.
Splitting removes pages, not details on a page you keep. Use a suitable redaction tool if you need to hide content.
The shared workspace rejects password-protected files and PDFs with interactive form or signature fields.
