Frequently asked questions

How do I extract only certain PDF pages?

Select range mode and enter page numbers such as 2-5, 9, 12. Review the selection before downloading.

Can I split a PDF into equal parts?

Use custom groups to define each section precisely; equal groups depend on the total page count.

Will bookmarks survive splitting?

Basic page content is retained, but document-level bookmarks, forms, links, and signatures may not transfer perfectly.

Can the tool open an encrypted PDF?

Only if the browser library can read it after legitimate unlocking. The tool does not bypass passwords or permissions.
