One additional tiny yet, in certain situation, extremely important difference between Splitting and extracting pages is the retention of the PDF encoding such as ISO standards if the PDF are to be sent to the printing company and contains some really important colors/paper type data internally.
Extracting pages will retain the ISO-based property of the original document while Splitting page will remove the ISO-based property from the generated document(s). Now, however if it's important to keep the ISO or not in the PDF will depends on the printing company's software and if you have some really crafty things implemented into your document. In the 90's and early 2000's, it would have been mostly a bad thing to remove the ISO codes because it contains the color adjustment, for example, between the types of paper printed on. (Mat/Gloss/Semi-Gloss, etc.) Nowadays, the pre-press software have advanced to the point where they have their own implemented ISO conversion if the doc is in simple CMYK or even RGB and the risks or error in colors output are lower than 0.2% on most cases.
That is if the printing company did update its software since the early 2000's. It cost a pretty penny, hence printing companies who has suffered from lower budgets since the bubble crash of 2006 of the printing industry might still be using software from the 90's because they just "work" in general.
i.e. I remember when I worked with a serigraph prints company and we were using an Apple II on a cutter because the software was still working just fine. This was in 2004-2005. We had a USB-to-Floppy disk reader so that we could bring the file from Illustrator in EPS 1.1 (oldest we could save as) on that floppy disk (with its good old limit of 2.37 MB of storage). That's not exactly related to ISO, but still an example of when companies keeps old software that has limitations.
Very interesting information! Thank you for sharing!
Thankyou
Thank you for watching!
This is well edited and ease to follow.
Furthermore, a deal-breaker for me is Adobe being a bit slow compared to Foxit PDF Pro.
Thanks.
How may I address to you? Miss Wright or Mme Wright?
I am happy to hear it was easy to follow. Thank you for watching!
Alex, is FoxIt good for splitting a large pdf? Like 150 pages?
@@MiaHessMusic Yes Mia, Foxit PDF editor is tremendously good at slippinh large PDFs.
I have been using it whilst preparing for my defense.
@@alexnoussi1146 thank you! Merci!
@@MiaHessMusic le plaisir est pour moi Mia.
Ugh. This was informative, but I don't know why Adobe doesn't allow you to split by page number. We used to have Nuance Power PDF at work before it was replaced by Adobe. You could enter the page numbers that you wanted each split to start with, separated by a semi-colon, and it was so easy. I often work with documents that have been combined into one PDF that I need to uncombine, and the original documents are all different page lengths. The extract option can sometimes take hours, when the Nuance PDF version would take a matter of a few minutes.
Thank you for watching! I do understand your frustration.
thanks but i want my pdf t split in each chapter automatically, like chap 1 to 10 in each file regardless of page no. or size? is there such option?
Thank you for watching! If you add top-level bookmarks to your chapters, you can then choose the Top-Level Bookmarks option from the split menu.
I don't know why, but mine splits files but they are the same size as the original. So if I have a 300-page, 160mb PDF file, all of the split parts' size is also 160mb, so I can't use this much as it this will filled up space on my hard drive, easily. Any help?
Thank you for watching! If possible, you may want to save a copy of the original using a reduced file size (File > Save as Other > Reduced Size PDF) and then create the splits from that copy, not the original. For some reason, doing the splits from the reduced file will sometimes stop the "glitch" of all the files being the same size. Best of luck!
@@erinwrightwriting Ahh I see, thank you for the response, will try it, hopefully it'll work.
Is there an option to name the files as per some database? (Excel, for example?)
Thank you for watching! You can select File > Export to > Spreadsheet to save your PDF as an Excel file.
I'm trying to split a 46 mb pdf that is 74 pgs of drawings . Split isn't a selectable icon on the Organize PDF page. Why would that be?
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, I can't be sure why your Split option isn't available. Could someone have placed editing restrictions on the PDF?
I think you are correct. there are digital signatures that I thought were .jpg embedded images.
You saved me hours of stress trying to split this. I was trying to split by pages to hit the 25mb mark. But 40 pages does not equal the same amount of KBs
I am so glad to hear this! I wish you all the best with your PDF project!
is there anyway to do this for free? I have a very large PDF File say 1800 pages of theory and multiple choice questions. I need to segregate the pages with the MCQs. Is there someway to do this with Microsoft tool ( I have a yearly subscription) or any free tool on the internet?
Great question! One way to do it would be to convert the PDF to a Word doc and then from the Print screen in the backstage view, enter the MCQ page numbers and then choose the Print to PDF option rather than actually printing. Because you are dealing with such a large document, I recommend working in small batches rather than trying to do all the MCQ pages at once. Afterward, you could recombine the files into one file, if necessary. I wish you all the best!
1:45 to get to the point
worth mentioning this is only working in the paid version it seems??
Yes, Adobe Acrobat is available as a one-time purchase or subscription. Adobe's free PDF display software, Acrobat Reader, only offers limited tools. Thank you for watching!
I tried it and it would not split a large file (81 pages) at all. Not your fault. It's Adobe.
Thank you for watching! I am really sorry to hear that you are having trouble. Acrobat does suffer glitches from time to time, so you may want to consider reporting your issue to Adobe support.
Not gonna pay $10 just to split a pdf (first time using Adobe)
God i despise acrobat with all of my heart
