# PDF Split Ranges

Cut a PDF into parts by page ranges with our PDF Split Ranges tool. Enter ranges such as 1-3,4-9,10- and every range becomes its own PDF, collected in one ZIP archive. Ranges may overlap or skip pages, and each part keeps the bookmarks, links and form fields of its pages. Ideal for pulling chapters out of a book, separating statements from a batch scan or sending each person their section.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I split a PDF by page ranges?

Upload a PDF, enter the ranges separated by commas, such as 1-3,4-9,10-, and click Split by Ranges. Each range becomes one PDF, and all of them arrive in one ZIP archive.

### How do I write the ranges?

Write single pages like 5 and spans like 2-7. An open end like 10- runs to the last page and -4 means pages 1 to 4. Commas or semicolons separate the parts, and spaces are ignored.

### Can ranges overlap or skip pages?

Yes. Pages can appear in several parts, and pages that are in no range are simply left out. A range must run forward, so write 3-5 rather than 5-3.

### How many pages can the parts have?

The PDF can have up to 200 pages, and all ranges together can cover at most 200 pages, counting overlaps again. The parts together can be up to 32 MB.

### How are the parts named?

Each part is named after the original file and its range, such as book-pages-04-09.pdf or book-page-12.pdf, and the archive is book-split.zip. When the same range is entered twice, the second file gets a -2 suffix.

### Do the parts keep bookmarks, links and form fields?

Each part keeps the bookmarks and internal links that point to its own pages, and web links stay. Form fields on its pages stay fillable with their values; links and bookmarks that point outside the part are left out.

### What if a range points past the end?

The tool refuses the range and tells you how many pages the PDF has, for example when you enter 40-45 for a 30-page document. Use an open end like 25- to run to the last page whatever its number.

### Can I split a password-protected PDF?

Yes, enter the password to open it; files that only restrict printing or copying need none. The parts are saved without a password.

### What is not kept?

Accessibility tags, page labels and document-level JavaScript are not carried into the parts, and digital signatures no longer validate. The title, author and attachments of the original are copied into every part.

### Are my files stored?

No. The ranges are cut in memory for this request and the archive is returned directly. Nothing is written to storage on the server.
