Tips and recommendations
Performance optimization
-
For large files: If your PDF file is larger than 300-400MB, it is recommended to compress it first using the "Compress PDF" tool. This will speed up loading and processing.
-
For documents with many pages: Use search and filters to quickly find the pages you need.
Best practices
-
Check before splitting: Make sure you have selected all the pages you need before clicking the "Split PDF" button.
-
File organization: After splitting, give files clear names so you can easily find the document you need later.
-
Security: Remember that all files are automatically deleted 24 hours after upload. Download the results as soon as possible.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF into equal parts?
You can select pages manually or use automatic splitting. For example, if you have a 100-page document and want to split it into 4 parts, select pages 1-25, 26-50, 51-75, 76-100.
Are annotations and signatures preserved?
Yes, all annotations, signatures, and stamps are preserved in the split files exactly as they were in the original document.
Can I split a PDF based on content?
Currently, the tool works only based on page selection. If you need to split a document based on content, you will need to manually select the appropriate pages.
What is the maximum file size supported?
We support files up to 500MB. For larger files, it is recommended to compress them first.
What should I do if splitting doesn't work?
Make sure that:
- The file is not corrupted
- The file is not password-protected
- You have a stable internet connection
- The file size does not exceed 500MB
If the problem persists, try compressing the file or splitting it into smaller parts.
