Open Password String

Sets the password to open protected documents.

Split by pattern String

A comma-separated sequence of positive integers defining the size of each split segment. The PDF will be divided into consecutive chunks whose page counts follow the given pattern, repeating it until all pages are consumed. For a 10-page PDF with SplitByPattern = 3,2, the output will be four documents containing pages [1-3], [4-5], [6-8], and [9-10] (pattern repeats: 3,2,3,2).

Split by range String

Specify exactly which pages to extract by listing single pages or inclusive ranges. The API will emit one PDF per entry, in the order given. For a 10-page file with SplitByRange = 1-3,5,7-9, you receive three PDFs containing pages [1–3], [5], and [7–9].

Split by text pattern String

Splits the PDF into separate output files by starting a new document at each page whose text matches the specified regular expression. With SplitByTextPattern = Chapter\s+\d+, the PDF will be split at every page where “Chapter 1”, “Chapter 2”, etc., appear. If “Chapter 1” is on page 1, “Chapter 2” on page 10, and “Chapter 3” on page 20 of a 25-page PDF, you’ll get four files containing pages [1–9], [10–19], [20–25], and any pages after the last match (if present).

Split by bookmark Bool

Automatically splits a source PDF into individual documents, creating a new file at every bookmarked page. When nested bookmarks are present, splitting occurs at the deepest (child) level, and each output file is named to reflect the full bookmark hierarchy - for example: ParentBookmark-ChildBookmark.pdf. When the source PDF has no bookmarks, the original document is returned unchanged as no-bookmarks.pdf.

Extract pages String

Specify a comma-separated list of pages or inclusive ranges ExtractPages = 1,3-5,7 to pull out from the source PDF. The API will emit one PDF per entry, each containing exactly the pages defined.

Merge output Bool

When set to true, all split output files (whether defined by page ranges, custom ranges, or text-pattern segments) will be merged into a single PDF. By default false, the API returns one PDF per specified range.

Integrate within minutes

Our user-friendly interactive demo enables you to easily set up and test the conversion from your account dashboard with just a few simple clicks.

Set up Split PDF parameters

Upload your PDF document that you wish to convert, and set up any additional conversion parameters using our intuitive and user-friendly interface. You can fine-tune and adjust the conversion parameters to suit your needs with no technical knowledge required.
