When to split a PDF
Splitting a PDF is useful when you need to share only part of a larger document, extract specific chapters or sections, or separate a combined PDF into individual files. Common scenarios include extracting a single invoice from a batch statement, sharing specific pages of a report, or separating a book PDF into individual chapters.
