How the PDF Splitter Works
DocDox PDF Splitter extracts specific pages or custom page ranges from any PDF entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Whether you need one page from a 200-page document or want to divide a report into separate sections, the tool handles it without sending your files anywhere.
Specify pages using individual numbers (like "1, 3, 5"), ranges (like "1-10"), or combinations of both. The tool validates your input against the document's actual page count and shows you exactly which pages will be included before you process. A visual page selector is also available for documents where you want to click pages rather than type numbers.
The output is a clean PDF containing only your selected pages, with all original formatting, images, fonts, links, and metadata preserved exactly as they appeared in the source. There is no re-rendering and no quality loss.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes. Enter a combination like "1, 3, 7-12" to extract any mix of individual pages and ranges.
Does splitting affect the quality of the output PDF?
No. Pages are extracted directly from the source without re-rendering, so quality is identical to the original.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. Splitting works on any PDF regardless of whether it contains text or scanned images.
