PDF Splitter

The Rapidix PDF Splitter uses the pdf-lib library to read and manipulate PDF documents entirely within your web browser. When you upload a PDF, the file is read into the browser's memory as an ArrayBuffer. The tool then parses the PDF structure, counts the total pages, and presents you with options to select specific pages or page ranges. When you click "Split & Download," the tool creates a new PDF document and copies only the selected pages from the source document. The resulting PDF is generated as a Blob and offered as a download. At no point is any data transmitted to an external server. This approach supports PDFs up to 50MB and handles complex documents with embedded fonts, images, and vector graphics. The entire operation typically completes in under a second for standard documents.

1. Click the upload area or drag and drop a PDF file. 2. The tool displays the total number of pages in your PDF. 3. Choose "All pages" to extract every page, or select "Custom range." 4. For custom ranges, enter page numbers like "1-3, 5, 8-10." 5. Click "Split & Download" to generate and download the new PDF. 6. The original file remains unchanged on your device.

PDF splitting is useful in many scenarios: extracting specific chapters from an ebook, separating individual invoices from a combined document, pulling out specific pages for a presentation, reducing file size by removing unnecessary pages, or isolating pages that need to be shared with others while keeping the rest private. Unlike online services that require uploading your documents to remote servers, Rapidix processes everything locally. This makes it safe for confidential documents, legal papers, financial statements, and any other sensitive content.
