Best practices for cleaner results
- Group related files into folders before converting so your output stays organized and easy to archive.
- Use higher resolution presets when you know the result will be printed, zoomed in, or reused in design tools.
- Keep an unedited copy of your original PDF files for audits, record‑keeping, or compliance workflows.
- Combine this tool with other File Studio actions like compress, merge, or split to streamline entire document pipelines.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does splitting a PDF copy or remove pages?→
Splitting always creates new PDFs; it never deletes pages from your original document.
Can I split into both small groups and single pages?→
Yes. You can define multiple ranges and export them together so you get exactly the files you need.
Can I name the split files in a consistent way?→
Yes. You can use naming patterns that include page numbers or range labels so each exported PDF is easy to identify.
Is there a limit to how many parts I can split a PDF into?→
You can split very large PDFs into many separate documents. The practical limit is usually your disk space rather than File Studio itself.
Can I split a PDF by chapter or section automatically?→
If your PDF uses bookmarks or clear ranges, you can split by those boundaries to create chapter‑level documents in one pass.
Will my original PDF be changed after splitting?→
No. The split operation always works on a copy and leaves your original file intact so you can repeat or adjust splits later.
