Good to know
Portals often want each document as its own file, or only the relevant pages. Extract pages saves the pages you tick, in order, as one new PDF. Split every page gives you one file per page. Split into parts cuts a long document into chunks of the size you choose.
You can also type page ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10. Pages are copied exactly as they are, so text, links and quality don't change. Your original file isn't touched.
By size cuts a large document into the fewest parts that each fit a limit such as 5 MB, ready for email or upload portals. In half cuts every page down the middle, which turns two-page book or A3 scans into single pages in reading order.
If a part is still too big for an upload limit, run it through Compress PDF. To rotate, reorder or delete pages instead, use Organise pages.
