Advanced Split PDF conversion parameters

Password String

Sets the password to open protected documents.

SplitByPattern String

Split PDF into chunks of pages by a pattern. For example, if you set 3,2 for a ten-page PDF, it would be divided into four PDF files that contain 3,2,3,2 pages accordingly. The pattern is repeated until there are no pages left.

SplitByCustomRange String

Split PDF by a custom range. Individual page numbers separated by commas or page ranges are supported and can be combined. For example, if set 1,3,4-5,6-9 for a ten-page PDF, it would create four PDF documents - the first PDF contains only the first page, the second PDF contains the third page, the third PDF contains pages from 3 to 5, and the last PDF contains pages from 6 to 9.

ExtractPages String

Each page included in this range will be split individually (one page per document). A page range or individual page numbers separated by a comma is supported (see SplitByCustomRange description for a detailed explanation).

MergeRanges Bool

Merge all ranges in one PDF file.

CompressPDF Bool

It tries to produce smaller output files but requires Adobe Reader 6, released in 2003 or newer, to view created PDF files.
