About Split PDF

Splitting a PDF divides one large document into smaller files. This is useful when you only need to share part of a document, when an email or upload form has a size limit, or when a scanned batch contains several unrelated documents that need to be filed separately.

With Golden PDF you describe the pages you want using simple ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range becomes its own PDF and your original is never modified. The tool works directly in the browser, so even sensitive documents like bank statements or medical records stay private.

Common uses

  • Separate a scanned stack into individual letters or forms
  • Send a client only the relevant chapter of a long report
  • Break a large manual into sections that fit upload limits
  • Pull a single signed page out of a bundle

Tips for best results

  • Check page numbers in your PDF viewer first, since they may differ from printed page labels.
  • Use ranges like 1-5 to keep related pages together in one output file.
  • Use Extract Pages instead if you want a single new file with selected pages.
