I was wondering if anyone could help with the following:

My client sent me a huge file and asked me to break it into small files and send them.

It has 20 Chapters. I would like to split them all.

I've heard of apps which might help on that.

Can anyone help, please?


Thank you.

Hi Paulinho,

It is impossible to give you any advice at all as you forgot to mention the most important thing: in which format is your file?

If you don't own a full Acrobat version, you can do this even online:

use alternate lightweight software Mar 27, 2014

You can also use some virtual printer and print chapter after chapter into separate pdf files. Works from any program that has print option.

Instead of Acrobat Reader which became extremely bloated over the years, try using some lightweight reader such as Sumatra, which can also open ePub and MOBI ebook formats, DjVu format and several others.

If you need to export certain pages to some image format, you can use PDF XChange viewer which can export individual pages or whole document to several image formats, including PNG and TIFF.

PDF Split and Merge Apr 2, 2014

There is a free (Sourceforge) tool called PDF SAM (for Split and Merge) - needs Java and the HMI is not so flashy - but does many jobs besides splitting or merging PDF files.
For other PDF jobs (notation, comments, bookmarks) I use Foxit PDF reader - very good (but does not support RTL languages)
