❓ Frequently Asked Questions
🔒 Can I split password-protected PDFs?
Yes, with the password. First use our Unlock PDF tool if you have the password, then split the unlocked document. We cannot split encrypted PDFs without the password for security reasons.
📊 Is there a maximum page count?
No limits. Split 10-page documents or 10,000-page documents. Our infrastructure handles any page count efficiently. We've successfully processed documents with over 5,000 pages.
💎 Will splitting reduce PDF quality?
Zero quality loss. Splitting is a lossless operation. Every split file maintains 100% of original quality—text remains crisp and searchable, images keep full resolution, and all formatting transfers perfectly.
📦 What format are split files delivered in?
Standard PDF format. "Split All Pages" delivers a ZIP file containing individual PDFs. "Custom Ranges" delivers separate PDF files. All files maintain original PDF specifications and compatibility.
🔄 Can I undo a split operation?
Yes, easily. Use our Merge PDF tool to recombine split files. Since splitting is lossless, you can perfectly reconstruct the original document by merging all split files in correct order.
🔧 What about documents with complex layouts?
Full compatibility. Our splitter handles all PDF layouts including multi-column documents, mixed orientations, embedded fonts, vector graphics, form fields, and interactive elements.
