Frequently Asked Questions
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Yes! Our tool fully supports password-protected PDFs. Simply enter the password when prompted, and you can split the PDF just like any other document.

Pro Tips for PDF Splitting
💡 Use Visual Selection for Accuracy
When dealing with scanned documents or unfamiliar PDFs, use the thumbnail preview to visually verify you're selecting the right pages before splitting.
💡 Optimize File Names
Use descriptive file names with the custom naming feature. Include page numbers or content descriptions to make files easy to identify later.
💡 Plan Your Splits
For complex documents, first preview the entire PDF and note down page numbers for different sections. This makes the splitting process more efficient.
💡 Use ZIP for Organization
When splitting into multiple files, always download as ZIP. This keeps all files organized and makes it easier to share or archive the split documents.
