A big PDF document includes several parts and each part has a main idea. In order to get one part with special contents or manage documents easily, people may want to split the whole document into many small ones.

Actually, if we open PDF documents with Adobe Reader, we can’t edit it. Therefore, we need to install another tool which is developed by Adobe, Acrobat Professional.

Then, I will share the guide: how to split PDF by using Adobe Acrobat.

Method 1

Click Extract pages on Tool menu and then type the page number which you want to extract according to hint. Then, click OK to get a new PDF documents. And then, save the document. We can save it in the default path, also give a specific path for it.

Method 2

At first, open the file which we want to split. Click Print on File menu, and then enter Choose Printer (Adobe PDF). Then select the pages which we want to get, for example, from page 2 to page 5. After clicking OK, enter the file names we want to give. Then, save it. And we can find that the documents about the pages we choose have been saved in the path where we save the original file.

Also, there are many tools to split PDF files online. Just follow the guides and click the buttons simply, we can get the split documents. For general users, Adobe Acrobat and other tools are useful! But for programmers, they need to realize this function programmatically. Therefore, some add-in is offered to programmers. By using the add-ins, programmers just need to write some simple code and save them a lot of time.
