Splitting a PDF to fit a size limit
Choose a limit and the document is cut into the fewest parts that each stay under it, keeping pages in order. Useful when an email or portal won't take one big file.
Pages are copied as they are, without being compressed. If a single page is bigger than the limit on its own, compress the PDF first.
Frequently asked questions
Will splitting reduce the quality?
