Do you have a large PDF document that you want to split into smaller files? Maybe you only need certain pages from the document, or you want to make the file easier to share. Whatever your reason, separating PDF pages is a useful skill to have. In this post, we’ll show you how to do it using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
First, it’s important to note that you’ll need the pro version of Adobe Acrobat Reader to use this method. Once you have that, open the PDF document you want to split in Acrobat Reader. Towards the top of the screen, you’ll see the total number of pages in the document.
To split the document into smaller files, click on the “Tools” option. From within this menu, select “Split Document.” You’ll see two options for splitting the document. The first is to split by the number of pages. If you type “25” here, for example, the document will be divided into multiple files, each containing 25 pages.
The second option is to specify the size of the smaller files. This can be useful if you want to make sure each file is a certain size, regardless of the number of pages. If your document has bookmarks, you can also select those to split the document.
For the purposes of this tutorial, we’ll focus on splitting the document by the number of pages. If you have a document with over 550 pages, for example, you might want to split it into three files with 30 pages each. Simply click “OK” once you’ve selected your preferred option, and Acrobat Reader will split the document for you.
Once the document has been split, you’ll see that within the folder where your source file was, there are now multiple files with the same name. Each file will have a different part number (e.g. “part 1,” “part 2,” etc.) and contain the specified number of pages.
And that’s it! With the pro version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can easily split PDF documents into smaller files. We hope this tutorial has been helpful for you. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below.
