PDFs can be split into separate files based on either Page Count, File Size or Top Level Bookmarks. The process creates new documents and does not alter the original document.
Note: Certified PDFs and PDF/A documents cannot be split. Additionally, splitting PDFs that have been digitally signed, but not certified, will remove the signatures from the resulting PDFs.
Go to Document > Pages > Split Document. The Split Document dialog box appears.
Add Suffix to File Name or Add Prefix to File Name: Adds the file number plus any text entered in the associated field to the end (suffix) or beginning (prefix) of the source PDF's file name to create file names for the split files.
For example, when splitting document ABC.pdf into four parts, selecting Add Suffix to File Name creates four files named ABC1.pdf, ABC2.pdf, ABC3.pdf, and ABC4.pdf.
When defining a suffix or prefix, use the number sign (#) to control the position of the file number. If the location of the file number is not specified, it will be added to the end of the suffix or prefix automatically.
To split the document only from selected pages, set the page range from the Pages menu.
For example: 1-3, 5, 9 will include pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9.
Go to File > Batch > Split Document. The Batch: Split Document dialog box appears.
