3. You will see 3 methods: Split by a number of pages, Split by maximum files, and Split by page ranges. 

 

  • Number of pages: Split the PDF into files containing up to a specified number of pages
  • Maximum files: Averagely split the PDF into files by specifying a number of files
  • Page ranges: Split the PDF info files by specifying specific ranges of pages (eg. There is a 50-page PDF, and you set 20-30 and 41-49. PDF Reader would create 5 PDFs containing page 1-19, 20-30, 31-40, 41-49, and 50.

4. You can also split the PDF using the divider lines between pages. (Similar to page range splitting.)
