How to split a PDF into separate pages
A step-by-step guide to split a PDF into separate pages, with advice on the settings and checks that matter.
Before you start
Identify which pages you need before starting. FileHero creates individual page files rather than preserving a single continuous document.
How to do it, step by step
- Open the PDF and identify the file positions of the pages you want to keep.
- Process the document into individual page files.
- Download the pages you need and open them before sending. Use a merge tool afterward if you want selected pages in one PDF.
Check the saved file
Open each page you plan to send and check that it contains the intended content.
Split a PDF or delete pages?
Splitting produces separate files. Deleting pages produces one document with fewer pages; the two workflows serve different purposes. Use Split PDF for individual pages, Delete PDF Pages for a shorter document, or merge selected page files when you need a new sequence.
