How to Split a PDF or Extract Pages Offline
Sometimes you only need pages 3 to 7 of a long PDF, or you want one file per chapter. You can do this without sending the document to anyone else's server.
Step by step
- Open the free DIL Lite tool and choose Split PDF.
- Choose your PDF. The page count appears under the box.
- Pick a mode: Extract pages into one new PDF (for example
1-3, 5, 8-10), One PDF for each range, Every page as its own PDF, or Cut into chunks of N pages. - Press Split. A single result downloads as a PDF; several results come as one zip file.

Questions
How do I get just one page out of a PDF?
Use "Extract pages" and type that page number, for example 4.
Can I split into many files at once?
Yes. "Every page as its own PDF" or "chunks of N pages" gives you a zip with all the files.
