How to split a PDF using our utility

Updated this week

The Split Document utility will identify every bookmark in a PDF and split each into individual PDFs. Click on the Utilities tab followed by Split document to begin using the utility.

Source File - Click in this field and then browse to the PDF you would like to split using either the inbuilt File Explorer or by clicking Browse and using Windows file explorer.

Page(s) & Section(s) - After you have selected the document you would like to split the Page and Section fields will populate with the data from your PDF. Zylpha does this by looking at the bookmarks contained in the PDF. If there are no bookmarks, you are able to define your own page ranges and split the PDF in multiple places (this is shown below).

Destination folder - By default the new PDF will save to the same location as the original. If you would like to change this you can either re-type the correct path, or use the File Explorer to define the location you would like the split PDF(s) to be saved.

Split ranges - After selecting your document the Split ranges section will populate with the data from your PDF. You can scroll up and down the list. It will identify every bookmark in the PDF as an individual item.

Split document - When ready click the Split document button to begin the splitting process.
